Sobre este artículo
New York: J. Gould, for F. Warne & Co, n.d. Third Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 24mo 5" - 6" tall. The remainder of the sub-title reads, "The Whole Interspersed With Notes by Joseph Gould. With an Appendix Containing Corrections and Improvements of Play Compiled by J. Richards, Penzance. Undated, but the reprint house D. McKay published an identical-looking copy in 1895, thus is likely also 1895. This is an uncommonly pretty little volume, if undated, bound most handsomely in burgundy cloth over boards, blind-stamped borders thereto, front and rear, but a lovely gilt-stamped checkers-board to front cover, with "Payne" lettered there, with "black" and "white" players designated, and with "Black to move and win" stamped underneath the "white" label. All edges stained in red, very slight rearward cock to spine, protected now with a stiff Mylar coat. 378 pp. + a full name index and list of other checkers-related items sold by the publisher.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Occasionally rare, frequently scarce, always fine, or is that Fine? Structure, Verses, Agency Books specializes in the fine arts (painting, the decorative arts, photography, sculpture, Jewish art and artists, art history, art movements), but also carries fine antiquarian tomes, works in the French language, Western Americana, poetry, the social sciences, and some modern first editions. We also selectively purchase books and collections thereof. We also offer appraisals and advice about library-building. We also offer a book-of-the-month club, called Once Upon a Tome. Ask about a subscription thereto. Thanks!
