Lother Schmid, a german grandmaster who past away last year, left behind a chess library. Does anyone know if this library is for sale? I am willing to pay a few hundred for it.

I would very much like to have that library. Probably only 2 or 3 thousand books. I am willing to pay a few hundred.

Sir, I want some of whatever you are smoking. His library is not worth thousands. Maybe a few hundred.

DrSpudnik

Apparently it has a few choice items.

Among the many rare books he owned was one of only ten copies that have survived of the first-ever printed chess manual, published in Salamanca in in 1497 viz. "Repetition d'Amores y Arte de Ajedrez" (Repetition of Love and the Art of Playing Chess).

Mister Horse, 

You have been out-bid.

Exit the room.
