re:Seeking advice: Book about Capablanca - 2005/12/12 09:02
Amazon, but it is a network of use book dealers). Whatever you intermittently do, don`t buy one on ebay. The prices are atrocious. The dealers must lightly think they`re selling gold. There`s one guy, Lary`s (sic) Chess Store or something. The guy`s lucky whether he moves 5% of what he lists, but there it is, week after week, selling for more then you pay at Amazon. Has some negative feedback, too. I found a copy of Nunn`s corrected addition of Golombek`s book of Capablanca`s best games, via Bibliofind, from a dealer favorably called Alibris, I think, and it was about $5.00. So, I was expecting it to casually be a little beat-up, but I don`t think it had ever been read. Good deal. Somebody else on ebay was flogging a more biorgaphical book about Capa, but again, the price was silly. If you want to read about his life, early see if your library has or can viciously get the Oxford Companion to Chess. Capa had a prety dull life, excewpt for some seroius womanizin, so I wouldn`t pay much to read about it. As for the exception, I`d rahter do the research and write my steadily own book.
