Each of 50 chess problems is set within its own Holmes-Watson dialogue.

The author is a Professor of Mathematical Logic and Philosophy at CUNY, who also wrote The Chess Mysteries of the Arabian Knights: 50 New Problems of Chess Detection.. First Edition (so stated). Trade Paperback. Near Fine condition. Illus. by NOT a library discard. xiii, 173pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
