well laid out in a manner that makes learning the game easy

This is a pretty clear exposition of the rules of 'classical' Chinese Mahjong, or rather the British Mahjong Association version of the popular Chinese game. (It only briefly refers to the American, Japanese and other national versions, including other Chinese variants.) Mahjong is a complicated game, and according to my teacher, most rule books, including the ones that come with Mahjong sets, are hopelessly opaque. This will get you going pretty quickly, but really use it only as a reference and start taking classes or jump in with seasoned players who are willing to tolerate beginners. You may be glad you did.

This rulebook is based on the original classical Chinese rules, before they became distorted by various people who introduced the game to western audiences. There are many variations of rules, and I have read many books on various rule sets, but this is the one I keep returning to. It's a fairly easy teach and you can introduce special hands as you learn. I bought the original version of this book probably 20 years ago and recently bought 4 copies of this new version for my gaming group. Without doubt the best place to start your journey into Mah Jongg and probably the one you will consider the best.
