An excellent book for learning the game of Mah Jong

This book is well written and organized.The writing is clear and understandable and the rules and scoring of the game are presented in a manner that makes them very easy to reference.A must have book for anyoneplaying the Chinese or Japanese version of the game.

A good introduction to the game of Mahjong

Though the book is quite old. there are many good points in it, most of which would interest a beginner and get them to play more Mahjong. Parts of the book talk about a wide known rules and some forgotten ones.Clearly, a good book for any Mahjong player.

A Mah Jong Handbook
An updated version of her previous handbook.Clearer explanations and excellent photographs.Arrived in a few days at a price a few dollars less than I would have paid here at the bookstore.

A Mah Jongg Handbook

I was looking for a review of American Mah Jongg rules.This book is not that.It has writeups about many of the international mah jongg forms - japan, china and I think America.

I found it very confusing - useless - and quickly put it aside as a waste of time relative to being a practical guide for American Mahjongg ..

What am I buying?
I am not a Mahjong playe.My wife is.I wanted her to have a reference book on American version.I thought this would be good. Little information available on books contents and objectives except the usual hype about how we cannot get along without it.The book was very difficult to figure out.I still don't know whether or not it can be used for the american version of the game.It was poorly written and organized. I sent it back and paid for the return shipping.I will want more details when I buy another.Maynard

Not what I was looking for

I returned this book after hoping that it would complement the Mahj Jongg lessons I took about a year ago.Unfortunately, it didn't.There was way too much on scoring.Scoring wasnot part of my instruction, so it wasn't a fit for me.I'll continue to look for a book that is directed at American Mahj with chapters on strategies and how to decide which hand to play with the tiles you have.
