    The most beautiful book ever written about Mah-jongg

    To read this book is to immerse oneself in a time long vanished. It is a world of silk and sensuality where the game of Mah-jongg reigns supreme. Deception is the key, unlocking a world of lust without caution in which to win brings ultimate satisfaction. No other book on the subject so brings to life the evocative and compelling seduction of this ancient game. It should come with a warning: the reading of this material may well lead to addiction. In my case it is an addiction well worth the price on the dust-jacket,
