A mix of old and new and a shout-out to Josh. Where is he now?

I have all those, Barden and Heidenfeld is IMO the best of that lot but 'Slain Kings' by Abram Yakovlevich Roizman (again IMO) is tops. I think that may be because I have to stop and try to figure what the comments are and I seem to absorb the game more. I spent more time on it! Some I've seen before but quite a lot were new to me.

I enjoy Peter Clarke's 1963 collection 100 Soviet Miniatures. The Sicilian comes in for a good kicking!

I was told that Peter's Soviet Miniatures was a poor seller. PHC himself added that he was going to write one on American Miniatures but just never got round to it. Paul is correct of course it is still quite a book.
