DESCRIPTION

Chess Gems

Miles, John Augustus. Chess Gems: Some of the finest examples of chess strategy, by ancient and modern masters. Collected and set by ... With the solutions. [2nd Edition] Fakenham, Southwood, 1878. 8°. With 1 diagram board and many diagrams. 226 unnumbered sheets, 1 sheet advertisements. Privat half leather binding. L/N 2401; see. Betts 32-11, London edition. 

The edition contains 736 problems of various composers and 5 problems on the frontispiece or at the beginning of a chapter. The solutions are given at the end of the book.

Condition: Binding needs repair. Both boards are detached, spine defect. In contrast to the binding the bookblock is in very good condition. Overall Assessment = Still 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.
