"The British Chess Magazine, 1901 (Vol 21)" published in maroon hardback by Trubner & Co in 1901. First Edition. 512pp. Includes title page and Index. The volume is in near Very Good condition for its age. The binding is tight and there is no shelf lean or bowing present. The boards are clean. The gilt lettering on the spine has faded away but can still be read "in the light". The page edge blocks are a reddish hue, which I'm unsure if this has always been the case or if the edge blocks have tanned to this colour. Internally the volume presents very well for a 120+ year old book. There are small areas of damage and loss to the top edge of the Index pages (see scan) but then this stops. The remainder of the volume is very clean and unmarked/undamaged. The internal pages appear to be inscription, annotation and foxing free. The extremities of all internal pages have tanned quite strongly over time but this, one supposes, is inevitable. Games are given in English descriptive notation. A very nice volume for any discerning chess library. Condition Rating: 7.5/10. Any questions, please just ask.
