The star of this lot is “A Matter of Endgame Technique,” an 896 page hardcover book considered a classic. (See American Chess Magazine #30 2022 p. 96 for a review of this book.) It has hardly been used but has some dents on the edges – see pictures. The other 2 books are softcover in good condition – see pictures for minor edge blemishes. There is no writing in any of these books. I will be unavailable June 11-14.
