| Re: What Is The Oldest Book You Own?
Staunton's Chess Player's Handbook - 1857. Bought it on e-bay.
Staunton's Chess Praxis - 1860. This has an inscription in black ink - Mr J Pidgeon L'pool Dec 29 1869. I suppose it could have been a Christmas present. Strangely enough, my daughter bought it for me as a Christmas present two years ago. |
