Masterworks - Rare and Beautiful Chess Sets of the World, 232 p.
A richly illustrated gallery of the rarest and most beautiful chess sets of the world. Most of the exhibits come from the Jon Crumiller collection and the Dr. George Dean collection, both of which have also written most of the explanatory notes and accompanying texts.
The book was first published in 2016 on the occasion of the World Chess Championship in New York. It is of highest quality, both content related and physical. Not only are the chess sets depicted in the book of highest quality, also the photos taken of them are extraordinary. Highly recommended book to anyone with an interest in chess pieces!
