About the author

H. D. Catlin

A late-19th-century writer from Quincy, Illinois, best known for an eccentric history of playing cards that mixes historical curiosity with bold personal theories. His surviving work also introduces his own card game, "Guest," giving it the feel of both a hobbyist study and a self-published invention.
