"A great deal of effort has gone into the preparation of this first rate work. An important aspect of the disk is the clarity of the illustrations and the reproduction of contemporary prints and adverts. In particular is the excellent quality of the photos illustrating the variety and quality of the BCC chessmen." (Gareth Williams review.) (Book ref. 4432)  £20.00
