"Emmanuel Lasker, Chess Champion. Vols 1 & 2" edited by J. Gilchrist. Published by Ken Whyld in spiral bound board in 1956 and 1958. First Editions. Betts 29-63 and 29-64. Unpaginated but Betts says 112pp + 86pp. Both volumes are in Very Good condition for their age. The boards on both are clean, although age tanned (particularly around the perimeters). Internally there is a previous owner's initials ('RGT') on both volumes front endpaper, possibly R.G. Thimann of "King's Gambit" fame?! There are a handful of pencilled corrections to game scores in Vol 1 (e.g. If the score read "R-K ch" the previous owner has added a 1 so that the score reads, correctly, "R-K1ch"). I could not find any such corrections on Vol 2. In both volumes the page edge blocks are tanned from age. In both volumes the internal pages are very clean and unmarked and it is obvious that these books have been well cared for over the years. Both are foxing free. Games are given in English descriptive notation. Further scanned images are available on request. Standard airmail postage (see An Post.com website for prices) based on book(s) weight will be used unless the winning bidder requires signature on delivery or insurance, etc. Any questions, please just ask.
PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOW BASED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND AND, THEREFORE, ALL SALES TO EUROPEAN DESTINATIONS (APART FROM GB) WILL BE IN EUROS AND SHIPPED DIRECT EU - EU (THUS AVOIDING ANY BREXIT POSTAL TAXES). CUSTOMERS IN THE GB AREA CAN STILL AVAIL OF SHIPPING DIRECT GB - GB AS I CAN SHIP FROM NORTHERN IRELAND, ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT DELAY IN POSTING. CUSTOMERS IN THE USA AND THE RoW WILL HAVE THEIR ORDER SHIPPED FROM THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND.
