About This Item
"Chess and Chessmasters" by G. Ståhlberg. Published in hardback by Bell and Sons in 1955. First UK Edition. 128pp. Betts 28-17. The book is in Good+ overall condition for its age. The book is tightly bound and stands straight. There is light foxing and age discoloration to the page edge block (heaviest of the top edge, as usual). The internal pages are all clean and unmarked apart from the very occasional small blemish or speck (for example there is a brown coloured "shadow" on both the front and rear endpaper). Inscription free apart from a bookplate and three tiny penned annotations on the front pastedown (see scan). The dustjacket is also in Good+ condition (nearly VG, in fact). It has one miniscule area of loss to the top of the spine to note (see scan). As to be expected from a book of this age, the dustjacket also has some light discolouration/tanning on it. There is also a closed, repaired tear on the front cover. The dustjacket is now protected by a removable see-through sleeve. Games are in English descriptive notation. A scarce and sought after chess book, especially with its dustjacket. Further scanned images are available on request. Any questions, please just ask.
