Go up one level in this thread


i have to tell you that in spite of the fanfare, i  am not a big fan of the
english-language editions of these books...
The russian editions, which I own have an amzing treasurabl photo collection
also are have the price of the american book...
the german-language edition is packaged with an accompanying cd-rom of the book
for chessbase users for the same price as the british pressing.

if the run of the pressing in english were smaller, then this would be a fair
price for the coffee table books being sold. As it is, americans are being
ripped off big time.
