Posted books by Ryan and Shearer

Two of the books I bought recently were such poor shape (pages falling out, etc.) that I made scans of them. I have posted these
on archive.org, as I believe both are out of copyright:

Streamlined Checkers by William F. Ryan (analysis of The Bronx Express opening):

Studies of the Two-Move Openings by H.F. Shearer

ticolensic, thank you for posting the historic checkers books on archive.org, and welcome to the ACF Forum!

Thanks. My guidebook has a bibliography which lists the books I own. It might be possible to add some more to archive.org if they are definitely
out of copyright and not too long.

I will be posting two more books (Ketchum's Handy Manual and Hill's Synopsis) as soon as Internet Archive allows logging in again.

Someone beat me to the punch on Ketchum, but here is Hill's Synopsis (5th Edition):
