Victorian Parlour Games Book By Professor Hoffmann.
The Book of Card and Table Games, edited by Professor Hoffmann, best known for Modern Magic, More Magic, and Drawing-Room Amusements, is one of the classic Victorian-era collections of indoor entertainment. First published in the late nineteenth century, it brings together an extensive selection of card games, parlour games, table games, and social amusements, accompanied by clear rules, strategies, and practical guidance. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the leisure pursuits of the period while remaining an engaging reference for collectors and enthusiasts of traditional games.
This is the Second Edition, revised and enlarged, published in London by George Routledge and Sons, Limited, Broadway, Ludgate Hill, in 1898.
Bound in its original red cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, the volume comprises 650 pages and is issued without a dust jacket. The pages are moderately tanned with scattered foxing throughout, more pronounced on the endpapers. The binding remains firm and secure. The boards show light edge wear and gentle rubbing to the surfaces, with minor crushing at the spine ends. The gilt lettering to the spine remains bright, and the book presents as a solid, well-preserved example of this sought-after late Victorian edition.
