Rare checker book collection for sale...

Post by Chexbibliophile »

Been collecting for 20 years now and throwing the idea around of possible selling some books or selling them together to the right person or private library. Price would be commensurate to the amount of books. Obviously many of these books are difficult to come by by any stretch. I know several books the CPL doesn't own yet. Some items I have are unique as well. Ultimately I want the right person or place to continue what I started and appreciate the books as well. I have hundreds of original rare books in many languages with a emphasis on Spanish, English, and some French and Russian dropped in. I have many magazines as well. I won't list everything but show some books off. Serious inquiries can contact me for longer list and discussion.

***I am selling books individually now. Inquire about price****

Not a complete or inclusive list but just some of the books.I have many more.

I have the original hand painted artwork George Limbrey made of the checker artifacts he found as he went through the British Museum that later were used as illustrations in his book as well as his hand written manuscript of the book that he later printed. The book I'm referring too is "the ancient history of the game of draughts 1913." see attached photos. He was quite the painter too and had some other paintings tucked in it as well. This was printed in a limited amount but I do have about a dozen of his copies never sold that came together with this. I attached some photos of this amazing collection. I've never seen anything like this for a checkers book.

New site for rare books.mostly hard to find expensive ones now but will add cheaper ones too.

Wow, an enormous and breathtaking collection of items, some of which look pretty rare. Of course they are priced at collector's prices and maybe are not for the average Joe Checkerist.

Thanks for the kind words. Some books are quite rare but all prices are negotiable if someone contacts me. I sometimes have a duplicate I can sell for cheaper if they want too. I also have many books I post on ebay for much cheaper. You can find them in the link below. I just add some randomly from my book bins when I get a chance. I try to post some stuff not on my website.
