The Tiddlywinks Bibliography is a compendium
of all substantive and obscure citations to the game of tiddlywinks in all available
resources: newspapers, magazines, books, government records,
images, audio, video, websites, etc. In other words, if the game of tiddlywinks was mentioned either briefly
or in detail, it should be in the Tiddlywinks Bibliography.
