Marran, Kay J. 1939 TABLE GAMES. A. S. Barnes and Company, New York. Price $1.50.
Here is a book that fulfills two purposes. Table games for years have been among the most pop-
ular of indoor pastimes, but they have been played with game material which has been ready-
made. This book clearly illustrates how any boy or girl can make his or her own game and have
as much fun in so doing as in playing the game when completed. It would be an interesting hobby
or pastime.
