Omschrijving

This massive 476-page, full-color compendium showcases over 300 American editions of the beloved Authors Card Game, spanning from 1861 to the present. Also included are selections of poems, passages, and memorable quotes from forty influential 18th- and 19th-century authors featured in this classic game. Carefully curated from the private collection of Stuart R. Kaplan, this volume is both a visual archive and a celebration of literary history.

The book is organized into five sections, beginning with Dr. Busby card games dating back to 1843, followed by four distinctive editions of the original 1861 Authors Card Game. Readers can enjoy selected writings from notable 19th-century authors before exploring the main gallery of card fronts and backs, portraits, and charming vintage box covers. The final sections highlight rare Authors Card Games from foreign-language publishers and other card games inspired by the classic Authors format.
