This pamphlet begins with the J.S. Ogilve ‘How to Play Modern Backgammon’ text and then provides 4 pages of Abercrombie & Fitch backgammon equipment. The Hattersley book listed on the final page was published on September 12th, 1930, suggesting this booklet was offered no sooner.
The illustration on the cover conveys the idea that backgammon is being taken up by a new, youthful generation as well as the older set. It had also appeared on September 19th in a full-page New Yorker advertisement -- which invites the reader to send away for this pamphlet.Publication Details
