A great book that offers some of the more popular one-and two-deck games,

Each entry offers alternate names, illustration of layout, the amount of space required to play, the difficulty level , and how to play.
The back offers a wonderful Informational Chart and Index that is a quick reference for the aspects of the game such as space, difficulty level, age group, and number of packs.
