TITLE 12 of the famous A.C. WHITE "CHRISTMAS SERIES". The need for problem classification, history, development of themes, methods of classification. The 14 themes are illustrated by 150 problems of various composers. Original text was published in 19 articles in the British Chess Magazine from June 1910 through December 1911.

The popular series ran from 1905 through 1936. Publisher of the series was chess composer and enthusiast Alain Campbell White (1880-1951). A. C. White sent most books of the series to his friends as Christmas gifts. But they were offered for sale, too. The series consists from 44 books on problem chess and one pamphlet from 1912. Most books are hard covers, bound in red cloth with gold lettering, usually written in English, sometimes in German and French and one was partially in Czech. Most books have printed Christmas wish slip by White, usually bound in after a title page. It appears that a part of edition of some books has wish slips and a part does not. Number of copies published of separate volumes is not known.
