CHESS, Sutton Coldfield, Vol 17. Add to Watch List Watching View Watchlist >

"CHESS, Sutton Coldfield. Volume 17" edited by B.H. Wood. Published in brown hardback by 'CHESS, Sutton Coldfield' in 1952. 250 large pages. Includes index. The volume contains all twelve issues of this iconic magazine for the dates of Oct 1951 - Sept 1952 (Issue Numbers 193 to 204, inclusive). The volume is in Good Plus condition for its age. The binding is tight and there is no shelf lean or bowing present. The boards are clean with just a couple of small white specks to note on the front and the rear board (see scans). The gilt lettering on the spine has faded completely away but can just be read "in the light" (although with difficulty). The page edge blocks are heavily tanned. Internally the volume is in near Very Good condition and appears to inscription and annotation free. The internal pages are very clean and unmarked but age-tanned due to the poorer quality of paper available so relatively soon after WW2. A couple (but not many) internal pages have the often seen vertical crease from the magazine having been in the post, back in the day. Even on these few pages, the crease is only light. Games are given in English descriptive notation. Condition Rating: 7.5/10. Any questions, please just ask.
