A RICH DINNER
In 1902 or 1903 the family Fraenckel in Göteborg, Sweden, organized a charity dinner to raise money for ‘poor children’. The menu including wines was printed on 13 playing cards. Only three suits of the pack are known, the Hearts and Spades are in the collection of Ali Jerremalm, Sweden.

The very first book on secondary used playing cards is
called ‘Small cards, great stories’, just like the traveling exhibition.
Gejus selected 40 examples of reused playing cards from his collection. Items
are reproduced from both sides, all in full color, and described in Dutch,
English, French and German. Gejus’ introduction is in these languages too. So
read all about it!
The 98 pages book is for sale only in playing card museums.
Price 19.50 euro.
For distribution by mail contact Gejus
here and he will inform you about additional shipping cost to your home address
anywhere in the world. All revenues of the book go to the foundation that
organizes the exhibitions. Thanks!
