Please post pics of your chess book collection

While I love seeing many members chess set collections and lust after many of those sets. I would also like see the chess libraries that members have accumulated over the years.

So here are some pics of my library.

Hello Chessreader56: Great, Great Library! We have some commons tastes!

Thanks

I've pulled out a few of my favorites from over the years... I learned to play in the sixties from Reinfeld, Horowitz, and Chernev books... This was one of the very first...

My friend Wally Teubner, perennial champion of the Racine Chess Club, gave me this. I really need to fix the spine...

Point Count Chess, better for its discussion of strategic and tactical factors than for the didactic method...

And of course, Chernev...

Great collections... Watch this super crazy chess kids .. Watch till the end and tell me what's your reason https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R9OhXch8G20

Awesome library Chessreader156! Nice to see that I am not the only  crazy chess book collector!  

A real classic by Horowitz that I picked up in the sixties... I still use it to help get a feel for a new opening. It's not cutting edge theory, but the way Horowitz organized it with illustrative games was--and remains--very helpful...

My first endgame book... I love the Shereshevsky books in the background, too...

Pachman was a favorite author...

Sometime around 1970 I started playing the Sokolsky. I learned it from this book, which remains a favorite...

I worked through Kmoch's classic for the first time back in '68 or '69, and then again about ten years ago. Perhaps my favorite chess book of all time...

I always liked Lasker's book, too...

Then when I went to college I picked up Kotov's book. Rough sledding...

I was running the chess program at the University of Wisconsin when Fischer made his incredible run to the world championship...

More recently I required some works by and about the great Argentinian Champion, Roberto Grau, a contemporary of Alekhine and Capablanca who largely organized the 1939 Olympiad in Buenos Aires...

Few books have I enjoyed studying more than this one...

Speaking of the 1939 Olympiad, I not too long ago finished this wonderful history of that eventful tourney, replete with hundreds of pictures and many annotated games. It does a very good job of putting the players and the event within the context of the imminent outbreak of World War II, up to the climax where Poland and Germany fought to the end for the championship even as German Panzers closed on Warsaw. Highly recommended...

And of course, there's Tal's book, whose cover inspired the resurrection of the beautiful chess set that adorns it...
