"CHESS, Volume 4" edited by B.H. Wood. Published by CHESS, Sutton Coldfield in 1938/39. First Edition. 450pp. No index. PLEASE NOTE that this auction item consists of the original magazine issues numbers 37-41 and 43-48 plus issue 42 in FACSIMILE format. The magazines are bound in a vintage "Cordex" binder that secures each magazine individually by way of an elasticated string which is placed along the middle pages of each separate issue. The Sept 1939 issue has snapped it's elasticated string and is therefore loose but could conceivably be re-attached with a little dexterity. The spine of the binding (see scan) has the faded word "CHESS" on it plus four ink blobs that is meant to denote "Volume 4". The magazines are in Good minus overall condition, being largely clean and annotation free. The Dec-Feb issues have some crinkling of the pages near the bottom, possibly a dried liquid accident from the distant past. The Jan 1939 issue has a small piece missing from the bottom of the rear cover. This particular issue is dedicated to the recent "AVRO 1938" tournament. The page edge block has tanned from age and handling. Many magazine covers have small specks or scuff marks to note, commensurate with age. The blue binder covers are not as bright as they appear in the scanned images. Games and positions are in English descriptive notation. Further scanned images are available on request. Heavy! Approx.unpacked weight: 1265g. Postage by Royal Mail within the UK: £4.00. Postage to Europe and elsewhere will be extra. Please ask me for details.
