16mo. Brown cloth with black lettering and checkerboard graphic. (26pp), 272pp, (12pp). Numerous checkerboard graphics. Very good. Very mildest of binding wear, else internally tight and fine. Tight and handsome second edition. Oddly, Lovell notes a 1946 third edition as having "an additional 11 pages of corrections" (there are 12 pages, but only 11 are numbered) and makes no note of the second edition having any corrections -- yet this second edition contains 12 pages of corrections at the close. Small gold name/address label of "World of Checkers Museum" on front pastedown. A very sharp copy of a rather uncommon title. Denvir (1859-1943) was a long-serving Illinois state legislator from Chicago, but is remembered as a world checkers champion who authored several books on the topic. LOVELL 164.
