nice gift January 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bought this as a gift for my brother--great color and black and white pictures throughout of "old" decks of cards. He loved it.
Sparse but beautiful January 21, 1998

This Treasury of playing cards is sparse on text or history, but there is an abundance of beautiful pages full of playing cards to look at and admire. If you appreciate and admire the artwork of playing cards this is a wonderful book.
