Developed by Confucius around 500 BC, the game of mahjong has entranced people for more than two millennia. Written for beginners, Teach Yourself Mahjong covers all the bases, from basic rules of play and scoring to advanced strategies. Each phase of play is clearly explained with the help of step-by-step illustrations, and key differences found in American mahjong variants are highlighted.

Basics with references to American and Japanese variations..,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Mahjong (Paperback)
I just learned the American version of the game and was looking for some history and basics as well as pointers on strategy. This book has some good strategy sections as well as sections on the American and Japanese games as well as Chinese and other Asian variations. Addresses and descriptions of American and Japanese national organizations are given.The illustrations are small and in black and white so if you are looking for more pictures, this is not the book for you. On the other hand, the illustrations of hands were useful - you just have to look at the page more closely.
