Hochman Encyclopedia Of American Playing Cards: Part 1 Of 4 Parts

Hochman, as the book is commonly known, was originally compiled by well known and well respected collector, Gene Hochman, in the 1970s. Years later this invaluable resource was completely rewritten and hugely expanded by Tom and Judy Dawson. This has been the "bible" of playing card collectors since the first day it was released. Now with Conjuring Arts ePub edition you can carry it everywhere! Tom and Judy have expanded this wonderful resource once again and Noah Levine has tirelessly converted it to ePub. That means it will resize on your smart phone, tablet, or computer screen and will always be readily available. How many times have you been at an antique store and found a deck of cards and wondered if it's in Hochman and what is known about it?This first volume contains:PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITIONCHAPTER 1–COLLECTING PLAYING CARDSCHAPTER 2–ORGANIZATION OF THE ENCYCLOPEDIACHAPTER 3–THE EARLY MAKERSCHAPTER 4 – LONGLEY BROTHERS AND SUCCESSOR COMPANIESCHAPTER 5–THE NEW YORK CONSOLIDATED CARD COMPANYCHAPTER 6–ANDREW DOUGHERTYCHAPTER–7 THE UNITED STATES PLAYING CARD COMPANY
