This book is an absolute classic, with material that can play as well today as it did fifty years ago. Some of the props discussed are now a bit more difficult to find, but we still have cards and dice and coins lying around. (Keep in mind this book was written in England, so the pennies mentioned are the big British pre-decimal ones we know and love.)
