"Limited Collectors Edition"--coming soon

[Mr. Checkers]

Entitled--William Payne's--"Game of Draughts" (revisited). Hopefully this limited edition will be available to collectors later this month--it is currently at the printers. Its contains a page "to" page comparision of Payne's 1756 work verus what some refer to as the "counterfeit edition" of Payne's original work, which was printed at a later date. This will give collectors the opportunity to view both editions in one book (noting technical differences in the two books). Which one is the original and which is the counterfeit you will have a chance to determine for yourself. I wanted to thank Alex for being of assistance to us with this project.

[Mr. Checkers]

The proof came back today. After as few minor adjustments with the cover this limited edition research document will be made available to collectors.

[Mr. Checkers]

Thank you so much Alan for your order--your book will be in the mails soon. This year the ACF is celebrating the 250th anniversary of William Payne's--"Game of Draughts"--1756-2006. With that in mind we feel that 250 pounds sterling would be a fair and reasonable amount for this fine publication of his work. I am sure that you will agree. Plus you will be receiving two books in one--postage free.

[Mr. Checkers]

Alan most of you will have to wait until you return home from the National Checker Tournament to see your copies of this fine work. They will be mailed out tomorrow. I hope that everyone will enjoy this unique piece of checker history, which is found within the pages of its literature.
