The current edition of The Checker Maven, Ken Lovell 01/18/25, https://www.bobnewell.net/nucleus/checkers.php has an interview with Ken Lovell the author of DRAUGHTS BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. There is also a link to the free (free!) e-book in the article. The book picks up where W. T. Call's The Literature of Checkers from 1908 leaves off. This new book is in chronological order with an index at the end. Ken has picked a favorite problem for this article, and without knowing the author's name given at the end, my reaction was "this is a really good problem!" This new book by Ken Lovell, while a free download, is priceless to a checkerist! Thank you Ken Lovell for sharing the new edition of DRAUGHTS BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
