DESCRIPTION

Gilberg, The Fifth American Chess Congress

Gilberg, Charles A. The Fifth American Chess Congress. Containing a full report of the proceedings of the convention of chess players, held in New York, in the year 1880; together with an account of the preceding chess congresses, held in the United States, and biographical sketches of noted early chess players. New York, Brentano, 1881.8°. With frontispiece and some diagrams. VIII, 2 sheets, 539 pages. Original blind embossed publisher cloth binding with lettering on spine. L/N 5211; Betts 25-14; Chicco / Porreca, p. 246, with reference to this edition with biographies, chess games and problems and a report on the previous 1st to 4th congresses. Mackenzie and Grundy won the tournament. 

Condition: Some wear, defects on upper spine. Title page loose. Paper browned. Otherwise inside nice and clean. Overall Assessment = Good! 


Postage EUR (insurance included): It depends on whether the shipment is made by parcel or registered mail. I try to choose the most cost-effective yet reliable way.

I combine shipping – you always pay just real postage! The packing materials are free.

I send with the so-called "Paketmarke" (for further information https://www.post.at/privat_versenden_paket_paketmarke.php) which is, in general, the most cost-effective and reliable way to send parcels to Austria. One feature is that the shipment costs are defined via the longest and the shortest side of the parcel. The weight isn´t important although it is limited to 31,5 kg. The parcel is also insured up to € 500,-.

  1. PM 045 = longest and the shortest side of the parcel is added max. 45 cm) GER=€9,90, other EU = €12,90
  2. PM 070 = longest and the shortest side of the parcel is added max. 70 cm) GER=€14,90, other EU = €17,90
  3. PM 120 = longest and the shortest side of the parcel are added max. 120 cm) GER=€19,90, other EU = €22,90

Therefore if you win more than 1 lot and the books fit into the same parcel, the shipping costs will be the same as for 1 book. 

Important: Please wait with payment until you get my confirmation email, as the shipping costs have to be calculated.
