Chess Mastery by Question and Answer

xii, 176 pages, small octavo. Red cloth over boards with black stamp. David McKay did not have a consistent practice of first edition identification during this time and there is no indication of printing at all. Without a bibliography noting printing points, this copy cannot be claimed as a first edition, but it is in the earliest published format I could find. Book boards have some areas lightened by staining and there's some wear to the spine ends. Interior age-darkened, especially at the endpapers where the glue is showing through as dark tan. Spine is cracked, but the stitching holds, between the gatherings at pages 114-115. No interior ownership markings.
