USA Vs. BARBADOS 2004 GAYP INT. MATCH

[Alan Millhone]

Hello Everyone:

In my today's mail received another new book by Mr. Jim Loy !

This book are the games played in 2004 in Bridgetown, Barbados at the first International Match in GAYP. The cover is beautiful and the first page is in color. Then you have 12 pages written by Dr. Richard Beckwith about the match and his notes while there for the match. The book has 82 pages that are diagrammed and profusely annotated by the author. Another of Mr. Loy's excellent and well researched books to add to Checkerdom.

Books can be ordered directly from Mr. Loy at $12.00 each in the USA and $14.00 shipped to the rest of the globe. Better get a copy for your GAYP study or book collection. I highly recommend his new book.

Sincerely:
Alan Millhone, President
American Checker Federation
