Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 382 pages. octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. "Gaylord Dold, hailed by Loren D. Estleman as "the best new stylist to enter the crowded field of private-eye… fiction, and one of its most daring innovators," brings us another literate and suspenseful adventure for his remarkable sleuth, Mitch Roberts. Rude Boys, like Dold's recent A Penny for the Old Guy, finds American cowboy Roberts in London, "looking for his life" and "trying to fall in love" with English widow Amanda Smith. He is doing some work for Amanda's lawyer friend, Hillary Root, when Hillary's Jamaican half brother is found brutally murdered." "The crime is a grisly puzzle from the start. The man was in the hospital, well on the way to recovering from the mysterious illness that had put him there, when someone crept into his room and left him covered with blood, a gaping slash across his neck." "Hillary is deep in a seemingly hopeless case, the defense of another Jamaican man accused of robbery and murder. Fighting prejudice as a female in the ranks of British barristers, and as a half-Jamaican female at that, Hillary now begins to receive horrifying and wordless threats, like the "gift" of a slaughtered cat. Sympathy with her burdens impels Roberts to travel to Jamaica, seeking the roots of these possibly connected events." "Although his brief trip produces a number of answers as well as insight into the lives of Jamaicans at home and abroad, another murder takes place before Mitch is able to unravel the tight skein of horror and death and to set a strange kind of justice in motion." Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 148+[8 blank note] pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 3/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The Leningrad System of the Dutch is characterized by an early fianchetto of Black's King Bishop. Thanks to the uncompromising and controversial na…ture of Black´s first move, 1.f5, this will always lead to sharp and difficult play. On this ChessBase DVD, International Master Andrew Martin makes a compelling case for playing the Leningrad in competitive games and demonstrates that this is the ideal opening for players willing to embrace risk and who like to WIN. Bent Larsen once famously remarked that the Dutch Defence brings out "the chicken" in a lot of opponents. Time and again on this DVD we will see what he means. Maybe Petrosian rubbed his hands with glee at the thought of facing 1.f5, but for the average player the Dutch can be a nasty shock. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, light edge wear else very good.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 256 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8"x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. Two American grand masters provide a practical survey of the English Attack, one of today's hottest opening variations. In response to Black's Najdorf Sicilian, White plays 6 f…3, which both supports the center e-pawn and prepares to launch a kingside pawn storm against Black's castled king. However, Black can indeed postpone castling in favor of queenside expansion and regrouping the knight pair at b6 and d7, and be ready for a swift counter punch when White castles long. Tactics and sharp play abound in this most modern of chess openings where precise knowledge of variations is vital. Condition: Near fine.
