207 pages, illustrated. Text by Bab Westerveld, translated by Plym Peters and Tony Langham. Research and explanation by Hein Broos. The book has been covered in protective plastic held in places by sticky tape. This has caused the outer edge of the covers to lift and will undoubtedly damage the two end papers if removed. The body of the book is in excellent condition - clean, unmarked and solid. "Text and photographs give detailed instructions on making a variety of string figures with and without a companion. Also discusses the origins and names of the individual figures and games that can be played with them."
