Description:
324 pages. Octavo (8 1/4' x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's beige boards with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The fifth book featuring U.S. Fish and Wildlife agent Venus Diamond (after 1999's Habitat) wraps an exhilarating mystery around the wistful history of the Columbia River, its dams and its beautiful salmon. In order to track down the terrorists responsible for dam bombings along the river, Venus and a male colleague travel to the town of Kettle Falls, Wash., posing as Juneau and Kay Lynn Jones. The two set up housekeeping in a mobile home and circulate rumors about their demolitions expertise. Meanwhile, the enigmatic mastermind behind the bombings, a man known only as Gerald, has fixed his attention on the Grand Coulee Dam. His companion, Darla Denny, is by turns otherworldly and sharp as a tack. It was she who placed the anonymous phone call that brought Venus onto the scene. Eventually, Juneau and Kay Lynn hook up with Gerald and are able to learn… Read More

Description:
xii+305 pages with diagrams and index. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The material in this book is compiled from Soltis' "Chess to Enjoy" column in Chess Life. The chapters are a lively mixture of anecdote and analysis, and should entertain anyone with any level of interest in chess. Soltis knows his chess history, and tells some neat stories, such as the history of Capablanca's Composition. This is a problem composed by Capablanca in 1908, in which flaws were found after his death. The problem itself is fascinating, but Soltis makes a good story of the ups and downs of the subsequent analysis, and points out that chess fame still awaits anyone who can save the composition. Soltis is also good with anecdote and wit; my favourite section perhaps being the very tongue-in-cheek instructions on how to annotate a master game, e.g. suggesting safe adjectives: "positions are 'difficult,' 'winning,' 'critical,' 'hopeless,' or--the safest dodge of… Read More

Viswanathan Anand succeeded in becoming the champion's opponent. The 1995 PCA title match was played on the Observation Deck on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center in New York City.
