Default Re: Poker with a 60-card deck

One of my favorite books.

Part of why I found this reference so strange is that 60 isn't a common size for any of the "usual suspects," 19th-century nonstandard-deck games. The fifteen-card suit is particularly odd (the tarot games have 14-card suits, but virtually all the other nonstandard decks have ranks removed.)

I corresponded with Parlett a few years back, via a mailing list for inventors of new solitaires. I probably have his address around somewhere if I dig....
