"CHESS, Volume 5" edited by B.H. Wood. Published by CHESS, Sutton Coldfield in 1939/40. First Edition. 274pp. No index. This auction item consists of the original CHESS magazine issues numbers 49-60. 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. Issue number 60 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 five ink blobs that is meant to denote "Volume 5". The magazines are in Good Plus overall condition. Some issues have the very occasional pencilled annotation but most are very clean and inscription free. The page edge block has tanned only slightly from age and handling. All the magazine covers are still in place. The blue binder covers are not as bright as they appear in the scanned images. The binder has a marked shelf lean. Games and positions are in English descriptive notation. Further scanned images are available on request. Heavy! Approx.unpacked weight: 985g. Postage by Royal Mail within the UK: £4.00. Postage to Europe and elsewhere will be extra. Please ask me for details.
