Mammoth Book of Chess
Sort:
Recommended as general/all-purpose and value for money!
(But try to have a look before you buy to see if it fits your expectations.)
There's one I can send for for $7.95 so I figured it might be worth a look see.
Well what do you think of it?
Okay.

I see very well. Take a look inside at Amazone. More than 500 pages of quality material for $7.95. You can not go wrong if you like what you see.
Seems cheap enough.
I have one, and it's a collection of best-known chess games, all annotated. Great if you want to go through the classics.
I just sent for it.

Well, there are 2 Mammoth books by Burgess, The Mammoth Book of Chess and the Mammoth Book of the Greatest Chess Games Ever Played, I have both and they are excellent.
I sent for the first one you mentioned.

would definitely recommend both of those books very strongly - I have loads of books and those are two of the best.

I'll try the first, and see how it goes.

I have the "Mammoth Book of Chess" and find it to be an informative, wonderful overall guide/manual of the game. It provides an "executive summary' of a large number of openings, tactics,endgame play, chess organizations, and on and on. I find it to be a great addition to my chess library.

Thanks. I just hope I can get into it.
Anybody ever read?
