JAQUES STAUNTON CHESS SETS 1849 TO 1939
-
A COLLECTORS GUIDE.

At long last a really comprehensive book about Jaques Chess Sets. The author, Alan Fersht, has crafted a well constructed book for the Chess Set collector be they a beginner or an expert.

Printed in A4 format to allow the pictures to do justice to the wonderful colour photographs, this 30 page book seems to go on forever with facts and interesting material that was previously unpublished.


Taking you through the history of labeling to dating methods that will no longer leave you in doubt as to the authenticity and date of the set that may interest you.

The evolution of the pieces is shown so well and with a section on collecting this book becomes a 'must have'.
