DESCRIPTION

1878 "A CHESS CENTURY"

Embracing more than one hundred original problems in two moves

Contributed to The Lebanon Herald Prize Tourney

 

Lebanon Herald (Ed.): "A Chess Century: EMBRACING MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED ORIGINAL PROBLEMS IN TWO MOVES, CONTRIBUTED TO The Lebanon Herald Prize Tourney".

Lebanon, R. L. C. White & Co., 1878. Original hardback edition with gold title in front cover. Frontispiece in cardboard + 124 pages. 14,8 x 10,8 cm. In English.

 

Fair to good: Covers very worn, especially in edges, spine and corners, with front cover completely loose, as well as some strong stains in covers. Light annotation with pencil (probably easy to erase) on page 15, as well as some stain or dirt on page 119. Otherwise, inside in good condition. I think it's a good copy to bind. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIAL CAREFULLY, BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION!!

 

Linde - N. 2436.

 

AN AUTHENTIC RARITY!!

 

VERY SCARCE, VERY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND!! Honestly, it is a book in a visually undesirable condition, due to the problem of the covers, especially the front one. But it is a very rare book and especially difficult to find, that with a new binding, would be a real gem in any library.

 

In my life I have only seen this book 1 time for sale!! In the 28 editions of the Klittich-Pfankuch Auktion that I know, 2003 November - 2006 June, and 2008 November - 2018 November, a copy of this book was never auctioned!!
