Lady Cadogan's Illustrated Games of Solitaire or Patience / New Revised Edition, including American Games

The book is a practical compendium of patience (solitaire) games that presents rules, tableaux layouts, terminology, and play-by-play procedures for dozens of single- and double-deck variants. Each entry gives setup diagrams or tableau descriptions, availability and movement rules, foundation-building methods, and deal or redeal conventions, often noting difficulty and strategy tips. An introductory glossary defines terms such as foundations, talon, reserve, and sequence. Games are organized alphabetically and include classic and American variants, enabling readers to learn specific constructions, legal moves, and finishing conditions for each patience.
