Alexander Hume Ford launched this as the official organ of the "Hands-Around-the-Pacific Club" (renamed Pan-Pacific Union in 1912) which he co-founded with Jack London to promote regional interests. They hosted gatherings for leading figures at the Outrigger Canoe Club in Hawaii, which Ford had founded in 1908 to revive and preserve surfing on boards and in outrigger canoes. Ford wrote more than at first appears, confessing to London that he used assumed names whilst begging, stealing or borrowing the rest. He encouraged his local business backers to submit factual content for the Encyclopedia and Guide instead of offering them display ads. The content is very rich on Hawaiian and wider Pacific culture, history, and geography, with additional regular features on Pacific personalities (profiling Club members and others), poetry and literature. ISSUE 1: Ford's Editorial records positive press reactions for Volume I "from Boston to Manila" with a congratulatory letter from Jack London. Articles cover the Outrigger Canoe Club, Hawaiian mountain horse trails, tramping in Fiji, Milford Sound Trail New Zealand, through Manchuria by trail and train etc. // ISSUE 2 has a full-page panel containing a surfing photo of Duke Kahanamoku by Gurrey with a passage from Byron's Childe Harold inside front. Articles include Hawaii's scenery, native Hawaiian fishing, Ford's visit to a volcano with cannibals, a day in Honolulu, Japanese rice culture, Philippines, New Zealand's Yellowstone. // ISSUE 3: Haleakala, Honolulu shark hunt, regatta day, Savage Island, tramping across Alaska, trout fishing in NSW. // ISSUE 4: a surfing poem, Hawaii's Laysan Island Bird Reservation, Maori-Hawaiian legends, Peace Congress in Hawaii, old Peru, Samoa, railways linking farms in Australia, Japan's peasants, irrigation, South Seas emancipated women etc. // ISSUE 5 has Ford's piece on the passing of the outrigger with photos from Hawaii and elsewhere, Mauna Kea, Hawaii's immigration problem, rod and reel fishing in Hawaii, Hawaiian national dress, Tapa cloth, Samoan customs (including the fate of old canoes), a day in Canton, Australian coast etc. // ISSUE 6: a full page b/w photo "Duke, the Champion Surfer of the World, Hawaii" (p590) in Ford's article on boys' sports in the South Seas.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. xxii+291 pages with frontispiece, tables, diagrams and index. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") Privately bound in blue artificial leather with gilt lettering to spine and blind stamped edge ruled. Facsimile jacket from Printing Craft edition. (Betts: 34-234) Signed by J.R. Capablanca, M. Botvinnik. Dr. Alekhine, W. Winter, G.A. Thomas, M. Euwe, and E. Bogoljubow  on paper slip laid in. Round by round commentary by A J Mackenzie. First edition. Nottingham 1936, was a 15-player round robin chess tournament held August 10-28 at the University of Nottingham. It was one of the strongest of all time.Dr. J. Hannak wrote in his 1959 biography of Emanuel Lasker that "when it comes to awarding the plum for 'the greatest chess tournament ever', in 1936, the Nottingham Tournament was certainly just that". W. H. Watts in the Introduction to the tournament book called Nottingham 1936 "the most important chess event the world has so far seen". It is one of the very few tournaments in chess history to include five past, present, or future world champions (Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe and Botvinnik)! A number of other prominent players, such as Reuben Fine, Samuel Reshevsky and Salo Flohr, were in the tournament. According to the unofficial Chessmetrics ratings, the tournament was (as of March 2005) one of only five tournaments in history that had the top eight players in the world playing, and was (in terms of the leading players playing) the third strongest in history. All of the top twelve players on Chessmetrics' August 1936 rating list competed in the tournament except for numbers nine and ten (Andor Lilienthal and Paul Keres). The event is also notable for being Lasker's last major event, and for Botvinnik achieving the first Soviet success outside the Soviet Union. In parallel with the main tournament, the venue also played host to the 1936 British Women's Championship. The event was won by Edith Holloway (1868-1956), age sixty-eight and a former winner in 1919. David DeLucia's chess library contains 7,000 to 8,000 chess books, a similar number of autographs (letters, score sheets, manuscripts), and about 1,000 items of "ephemera".
