by C. J. S. Purdy, with Joh Hammond & Robert Jamieson, 415pp. (Thinkers' Press, 2010)
The major work on CJS Purdy, originally titled "CJS Purdy, His Life, His Games and His Writings." His biography (by his wife), his writings and philosophy (over 200 pages of his best articles), and 50 deeply annotated games. Perhaps the best instruction book ever written. This revised edition has corrections, additions, an extensive index, and a chapter, "On Castle Walls," missing from the original. Part of the Purdy Library.
Belongs on every chess bookshelf -- Bobby Fischer.
