Book Shares Tale Behind Old Deck of Playing Cards’ History
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (PRWEB) December 08, 2017 -- Curious about the history of old airline playing cards from the ‘80s, author David T. Straw picked up the idea to write “Complimentary Tales” (published by Archway Publishing), a fascinating story behind an old deck of playing cards that comes to life as it is passed around the world and affects the lives of all who play a hand.
Straw describes his book as a story in reverse that takes readers back in time, to follow a deck of old airline playing cards from the 1980s. Unknown to the young boy who gets them, they will travel all over the world and touch a great many hands, and be part of a great many stories.
“The timeline is different, as it does not follow a usual chronological order. The figurative language and the characters,” says Straw about the uniqueness his book. Ultimately, Straw wants his readers to enjoy the story and smile at a possible connection they can relate to.
