Informator and Chess Encylopedia

Post by Adam Raoof » Thu Nov 04, 2010 3:24 pm

I have many volumes of Informant and various chess encyclopedias and I need to find a good home for them asap - no more room on my shelves!

No charge.

I am at the 4NCL Div 3 this weekend if you are interested, or you can collect from Hendon NW4 4UY any time just ring me 07855 036 537.

Don't you do electronic James or do you just like having the books. My wife insisted I have a clearout about 12 years ago and I sold about a 1000 books to the late lamented Barrie Ellen. My wife recently pointed out that I have acquired about 3-400 again. Can't help it - bibliomaniac. Trouble is I also have nearly all of ChessBase mag plus a lot of the openings titles - not a problem for space but it adds up!

yes, I do electric but nothing quite beats old fashioned greed and what Stepehn Fry calls 'the madcap off the wall humour of Informator.'

and I bought the books from Barrie's shop when it closed down ;-) Want them back again?!

James - you have to collect them this weekend. Likely?
