The Southern Counties Chess Union 1929-30 YEAR BOOK - Listing # 35372

DESCRIPTION

"The Southern Counties Chess Union"

1929-30 YEAR BOOK

Not in L/N nor in Kieler Schachkatalog!!

van Meurs, John Henry (Ed.) and others: "The Southern Counties Chess Union. YEAR BOOK". Comprising the Annual Year Books of all the Constituent Counties (Except Sussex).

London, PRINTING-CRAFT, LTD., (1929). Original publisher stapled and glued sofback edition. 3-208 pages (according to Betts, which includes an unnumbered advertising page after page 197 and the last 10 unnumbered "Score of Game" pages) with 2 photos of Trophies, a few illustrations, tables. 18,3 x 12,3 cm. In English.

Fair: Only in fair condition. It has loose covers, somewhat stained and with some tears and lacks on its edges. The spine disappeared completely. Brittle paper with normal browning, and staples rusty. The "block" of pages starts with page 3 and only the first 2 pages of the 1929-1930 Yearbook seem to be missing (it seems unlikely that the front cover would count as the first 2 pages), since Betts does not mention any frontispiece (portrait), as he does mention a portrait in the 1930-1931 Yearbook. Looking at Betts's description, and comparing it to the following 1930-1931 Yearbook (please have a look at the 1930-1931 Yearbook photos), it appears that the first 2 pages are probably an Editor's Introduction or something similar, since the "construction and order" of the 2 Yearbooks are identical. Inside in good (maybe good to very good) condition. It is certainly not the desired condition, but the interior is in good condition and it is an extremely difficult book to find.

Not in L/N!!; Not in Kieler Schachkatalog!!; Betts 8-29; Di Felice 3124.

"The first combined yearbook replacing annual publications of individual counties. Contains reports of the 1928-9 season, names of officials and other details of each affiliated association. Represented are 10 county chess associations, the British Chess Problem Society, the British Correspondence Chess Association, and the London Chess League." Betts.
