Palkoska, Emil and White, Alain Campbell. Schachprobleme. Weiß: Dame und ein Läufer. Leipzig, Veit, 1911. XVI + 176 pages. In German. Without Christmas greeting (probably wasn't distributed in this book). A. C. White's  Christmas Series volume 14. LN 2612.

Contains Palkoska's introduction to the theme and more than 600 problems by various authors, where white has king, queen, bishop and, in most cases, pawns. Problems are divided according to motives.

On the title page it is written in Czech: “Věnuje” (dedicated by) and the signature of Emil Palkoska dated 20 January 1911. From this we can see that the book was already published at the beginning of 1911.

Dr. Emil Palkoska (1871-1955) was a well-known Czech composer, one of the most prominent figures of the Czech Problem School. He composed more than 1500 problems, mainly three-movers.
