A real tragedy.  His only chess book. "Chess for Tigers", is very often on the
top ten list for young players and is very good for new players young and old
alike.

They have become scarce and are in demand as collectible book if you can find
one.  Below are 4 of the known ISBN numbers that I oculd track down if you are
interested.
