1909 The Horsfall's Problem Book: The Game of Draughts
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
A scarce work comprised of several hundred draughts problems, collected from a large range of contributors. With answers to the bottom of the page. A previous owner has ticked off the problems they have completed in pencil. Prior owner's ink inscription to title page. 'Thomas S. Vixon. London, August, 26 1913'. Some of the cloth dye has transferred to the front and rear endpapers, and the bottom edge of the text block.
Condition
In the publisher's original red cloth binding. Externally, sound. Rather rubbed and marked to the boards and the spine. With a tear in the cloth at the front joint and the rear joint. Bumped to the head and tail of the spine with a little fraying to the cloth. The rear hinge is tender and has nearly failed. Internally, generally firmly bound. The gutter is visible between pages xii and 1. The previous owner has ticked off the problems they have completed, but aside from this pages are a little ate-toned but generally clean.
