A New Book of Patience Games (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)

Ernest George Binckes Bergholt (1856-1925) was a British author. His works include: The Principles and Practice of Whist (1902), Double Dummy Bridge (The Bridge Problem Book) (1905), A New Book of Patience Games (1914), Royal Auction Bridge (1917) and Complete Handbook of Solitaire (1920). He was also the editor of Hoyle's Games Modernized (1909). "The present book and its companion, A Second New Book of Patience Games, do not repeat any game that has already appeared in the Illustrated Book of Patience Games, and form, therefore, an indispensable complement to that popular - indeed, classical - work. Many of the games which follow are wholly original, and are now published for the first time in book-form; of the older games only the best known and most widely popular have been included. "
