PREFACE

MAH JONG FOR BEGINNERS

Mah Jong originated and was developed in the Orient, 80 the rules may seem very peculiar to Americans. In writing this book, we have used the rules and regulations of the Japan Mah Jong Association We are indebted to Mr. Sugi-ura, ex-president of that association who wrote First Steps In Mah Jong and to Mr. Hamai, president of the Osaka Yago Shoten which published his book.

At the beginning, the strategy in detail will not be shown. To do that would lead beginners into confusion because the playing is intricate. We shall try to explain from the first step. in order to be understood by those who have never seen the implements of play

Readers who desire answers to any questions concerning the playing of Mah Jong will please address their queries to the author, Shozo Kanai, in care of the publishing company.
