BEADLE'S DIME CHESS INSTRUCTOR CONTAINING ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THIS FASCINATING GAME; THEIR APPLICATION TO PLAY BY MEANS OF THE BEST OPENINGS; AND A SERIES OF BRILLIANT GAMES

Descripción

80pp. Profusely illustrated. Original printed orange wrappers. Minor edge wear and rubbing to wrappers, short closed tear to spine head. Internally clean. Very good. A later edition of the tenth entry in Beadle's first series of Dime Handbooks related to games and pastimes, a genre that they originated and made vastly popular along with their dime novels. Originally issued in 1860, this edition was published by Beadle somewhat later, perhaps around 1864, though the type used to print the copyright page was so worn that the impression is almost unreadable (a common occurrence in later editions and printings of Beadle and Adams' works). This edition expands the title from simply DIME CHESS INSTRUCTOR, and was published in orange wrappers with no engraving on the front wrapper instead of the original buff wrappers of the first edition with an engraving on the front. JOHANNSEN, BEADLE AND ADAMS I, p.377 (ref). N° de ref. del artículo WRCAM56565
