The book of games, with directions how to play them
The Book of Games, with directions how to play them is a late nineteenth-century games manual compiled by Mary White and published in New York by C. Scribner's Sons in 1898 for general readers. Its pictures are small, plain line diagrams and a Library of Congress bookplate, with no decorative art; a designer could borrow the stark, schematic style of the crosshair-style game boards for simple icon or pattern work.
