Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First published in 1935, this specifc book was reprinted in 1938. This Black Cloth, Hardback Book, with Gilt Title Impressions on the Spine, is in Reasonably Good Condition. Normal wear and marks apply consistent with use and age. All 423 pages intact, some shelf-life wear and marks, all pages, text and illustrations are in reasonably good, readable order and condition. All the new page insertions look like they are a fraction smaller size than the original pages, please see photo. There is a nice chapter from the author's preface (Dr Tarrasch) which is really interesting, with one chapter goings as follows: "Chess is a form intellectual productiveness, therein lies its peculiar charm. Intellectual productiveness is one of the greatest joys, if not the greatest one, of human existence. Its not everyone who can write a play, or build a bridge, or even make a good joke. But in chess everyone can, everyone must, be intellectually productive and so can share in this select delight. I have always a slight feeling of pity for the man who has no knowledge of chess, just as I would pity the man who has remained ignorant of love. Chess like love, like music, has the power to make men happy. The way to this happiness I have tried to show in this book." Dr Tarrasch, Munich, January 1931. A truly wonderful book ideal for chess lovers and historians of the beautiful game of chess. Seller Inventory # 369
