The original dark green cloth binding remains structurally sound and remarkably tight for its age, featuring strong hinges and unrubbed corners. The white typographic tooling and the decorative chess-piece border on the upper board remain bright and unoxidised. However, the front board exhibits several conspicuous circular moisture rings or cup stains near the lower edge, which strictly dictates the grade. The textblock is square and crisp, featuring light, even age-toning to the margins and fore-edges, but it remains completely free from foxing, interior wear, or marginalia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This 'New Edition' of E. A. Greig's highly regarded chess manual was issued from the prominent High Holborn address of its publisher, a renowned name in early 20th-century chess literature.

W. Stevens, A. R. C. Sc., this specific issue features significant internal updates from its predecessor.

Copies of these early instructional works, particularly those retaining their original cloth and early cover pricing (\"Price 1\/- Net\"), remain a desirable find on the open market for collectors of vintage board game strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eA must-have for the historical chess enthusiast, E.
