Today when we think of William Payne's--"Game of Draughts" the word "rare" comes to mind. "Checker Trivia question of the Day". Going back a little over 100 years ago what would this extremely rare book be selling for (in the checker book dealers listings of that day)? (Cont.)

One collector that I know would charge you that just to hold this book. (Cont.)
