The Lewis Chessmen: Objects in Focus series

Unlike many modern publications, this is printed on quality paper and text and photos etc are pin sharp. It is short - 50 or so pages of text (63 pages overall) , so not a real history book, but as no doubt intended, a good companion to a Lewis chess set. (I had not realised that so many incomplete sets have been unearthed, which at least partly explains why replica sets vary).

Bought this to give me some background info on the chess set I bought as a student in the 70s. Compact but good information to accompany the set.

My Nephew loves it. He's a keen chess player and the history is inspiring.

Nice looking chess set

An interesting read, good as a overview of the chess pieces found and there story to fame .

Great little summary of the how, when, where, what of these wonderful chessmen. Small concise book, packed with information and images.

Most informative and helpful. A pleasure to peruse.

The historical review is just a shortened "History of Chess" by Murray, but the part on the chessmen themselves is excellent.

I liked the quality of the photos.

Un piccolo libriccino molto interessante, regalato ad un appassionato. Belle foto.

El libro es más que perfecto. Lo recomiendo

This is a very readable but thorough background to the 'Lewis Chessmen'. Worth reading before more detailed texts.

Je ne souhaite pas tout évoquer.Le produit me convient, même si je l'ai reçu un peu abimé (réduction du prix, me rendant plus conciliant).
