The Complete Book of Mah Jongg: An Illustrated Guide to the Asian, American and International Styles of Play

It will be very useful!

Good tutorial on Mahjong basics, and on differences between various versions of Mahjong.

Bought this to (re) learn how to play the game and for this the book is ideal. Takes you through the basics and the rules for Cantonese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong and American versions of the game. We play Cantonese rules and the book takes you through setting up the seats for the 4 players, making and breaking the rules and the basic strategies of the game. Also gives some examples of winning hands, at the moment we are playing Cantonese rules with the “People’s” (simplified) game scoring rules, until we have worked through the complexities of fans etc. All in all a great book to get you up and running and enjoying this great game.

Book has various versions and is written plainly so instructions are easy to follow. Love it.
