About this Item

Smallish book about 4 by 6 1/2 inches with some 142 pages. Bound in tan paper over boards with red leather spine and tips. Gilt lettering and decoration on spine only. With stiff tan paper end papers. This is volume two only from the original two volume set. Perhaps the most noted contents of this book is the early printing of the famous Benjamin Franklin piece on 'The Morals Of Chess'. Also includes a substantial number of chess anecdotes about famous people. Bit of rubbing to the leather; some darkening to the covers paper apparently from the glue used. An unusually nice copy of this book. VERY GOOD.
