13 Deluxe Oversized Illustrated Chess Books

13 Deluxe and Oversized Hardback Chess Books.

Most of these books are oversized. They are all HB/DJ and in VG condition.

These are profusely illustrated books on chess history, chess playing and chess sets with many lush color and black/white plates. I suppose many of them would be labeled ‘coffee table’ books but they are all quite impressive and enjoyable to read and view.

All in all a very worthwhile collection of illustrated books for your chess library. A couple of these are quite hard to find and expensive. ABE lists one copy of Linder for $82.50.

Media postage and shipping is included in the price to the continental US of A. No worldwide because of the weight.

$150.00. PayPal Only, Continental US of postage is FREE. Insurance is not included but recommended, $5.00.
