Chess Books - Special Case!
These are the remaining chess books in my personal library (after donating many to the Waterville Chess Club Library, all of which have now been donated to MECA as part of the Maine Chess Association Library [under construction]). I am using some of my books for reference and trying to find enough time to read others. I have held onto some for purely nostalgic reasons (e.g., my very first chess book, etc.). At some point, when cancer makes it impossible for me to enjoy them, my plan is to gift certain people with particular volumes; what remains will go to the Maine Chess Association Library.
I am right in the midst of reviewing all my non-chess books to give away, so I did not have time to list all the Waterville Chess Club books that now reside in the MECA library. Maybe one of these days. Another difficult task in front of me is prioritizing which chess books to read first!
