Description:
For its age, this book is really well preserved. A few minor blemishes to the covers, but the pages are excellent. The problems are good, too. Maybe not all 200, but most of them. This is a reprint of a book originally released in 1908. A fairly rare book.

Description:
There aren't many signs of wear, but one is noticeable. At some point this book got impaled on another, resulting in two pages acquiring a bit of a fold amidships. Otherwise, the signs of wear are minor. Please do not buy this book. I play the English a lot and I don't need someone else out there prepared and ready to beat it. Ok, I'm kidding, buy the book. I'll switch to the King's Indian..

Description:
A historical novel that takes us from 1825 to 1884, encompassing the life of chess champion Paul Morphy (1837-1884). It does not, however, focus on the chess, but rather puts Morphy into a diplomatic role in Europe during the Civil War. (In real life, Morphy returned to New Orleans from Europe in 1859, gave up chess, and played no role in the civil war at all.)The book has little wear other than some ink on the bottom page ends and a little bit of shelf wear. The dust jacket has suffered the most, with a half dozen tears and significant wear at the corners. 533 pages.

Description:
First edition.This book is not about the playing of chess, but rather the players and their personalities. Cockburn examines the eccentrics of the game from a very Freudian point of view, Looking at the few who are, shall we say, out there, rather than the many who are totally, uninterestingly "normal". Chess players have often not agreed with Cockburn's analysis. I can't speak for non-chess players.The book shows little wear, and has a remainder mark. The jacket is price clipped and has one tear (2 cm) at the upper right front cover.
