This is not a complete review except to say that the descriptions of the game, while concise, are very easy to understand, logically presented, and yet are written in a wonderfully attractive and readable style. All include an illustration of the basic layout.Some points:1 The list of games in the current description page contain two completely different games per line, e.g. Labyrinth and Mount Olympus. The number of games actually totals forty-seven.2 Lady Carogan's first edition was the first published English language compilation of solitaire games, probably from the 1860's. Second edition was 1874. The edition I have is the even later 1914 as reprinted 2007, the cover shows a bobbed hair flapper playing under a lamp.Some of these 47 are special favorites of mine for the historical reason of being from the first (English) book, (although mine is a later edition of it- and is the only one I have looked inside of).3 sells two Kindle versions right now, and I would guess that they are different editions. If they are, then I am not sure which is the older, having only seen one.
