Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Publication: London, George Bell & Sons, 1899 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [xxviii], 240. Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains firm and squarely tight, presenting a robust copy of a text often heavily handled by players. The original light green cloth boards show moderate, standard shelf-wear, most notably some slight crushing and mild fraying at the spine head and tail, along with occasional faint surface rubbing. The black-stamped checkerboard tooling and typography on the front board remain entirely unfaded and sharp. Internally, the hinges are secure. The text block edges display typical age-toning and moderate foxing. This foxing extends across the preliminary and terminal leaves, including the half-title and title pages, but it largely dissipates within the main body of the text, leaving the core pages generally clean and highly legible. Catalogue Note: This is the revised edition of J. A. Kear’s update to Joshua Sturges’ classic guide, originally published in this revised format four years prior. Printed by Butler & Tanner at The Selwood Printing Works, the text integrates Sturges' foundational theories with Kear's extensive late-nineteenth-century analysis of modern openings. The volume is interspersed with traditional diagrammatic illustrations of draughts boards to demonstrate critical game situations and strategic play. Exact matching copies of this specific printing have become increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly in sound, original cloth without extensive annotations from past players. Regarded as a cornerstone of draughts literature, Sturges' Guide to the Game of Draughts offers a masterclass in strategy, positional play, and tactical foresight. First published in the early nineteenth century and substantially revitalised by J. A. Kear, a titan of the Victorian draughts community, this guide provides players with both foundational principles and advanced critical situations. It serves not only as a practical manual for mastering the board but also as a fascinating historical artifact of the game's evolution, capturing the rigorous intellectual spirit of 1890s competitive play.…
