It was first published in 1950 and this mass-market paperback edition is from 1959. It's not anything in particular that makes it special; it's just interesting to see what kind of books people were reading then and how paperbacks looked (and smelled and felt). For better or for worse, they just don't make them like this any more. And no back-cover review ever mentions canasta (what even IS canasta?)!
There is a lot more to books than the ideas in them. So don't go throwing them away just because you got the e-book! Give them to me!!!
You are going to need a much bigger apartment.
ReplyDeleteI kind of already do :(
ReplyDeleteCanasta is a card game that you play in groups of four. It is a louder more free spirited game than bridge, but more of a couples thing than poker. I have never played but I have a set of canasta cards and would love to learn!
ReplyDeletelove canasta!
