"The Best in Chess" by I. Horowitz and J. Battell. Published in hardback by Hodder and Stoughton in 1966. First UK Edition. 412pp. The book is in Good Plus condition for its age. The binding is good (not "tight" as there is a little bit of give in it) and the book stands straight with no shelf lean or bowing present. The long page edge block has some tiny specks on it (dried liquid I'd guess, see scan) and is evenly tanned from age. Internally the book appears to be inscription/annotation and foxing free. The pages have tanned a little from age but they are all very clean. PLEASE NOTE: There is the suspicion that the book was formerly in a public library. This is due to the front endpaper being missing and the fact that the dustjacket is covered in a clear adhesive which was often used in libraries. However, there are no stamps or pouches or residue of either to clearly state one way or the other. The dustjacket is complete. Betts (43-21) states that this book is a "pot pourri of articles, games, problems, stories, etc from the magazine 'Chess Review' between the years 1935 and 1965". Further scanned images are available on request. Postage by Royal Mail within the UK is £4.00. Postage to Europe and elsewhere will be extra - please ask me for details. PLEASE NOTE: AUCTION ITEMS WON FROM BIDDERS IN THE EU (and The USA, etc) WILL HAVE THEIR GOODS POSTED FROM THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND (part of the EU) AND THIS WILL, HOPEFULLY, AVOID THE NEW BREXIT POSTAL TAX. (N.B. Customers in the GB area will have their goods posted from Northern Ireland - part of GB - as usual). Any questions, please just ask.
