Master Pieces: The Architecture of Chess by Gareth Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a beautiful, special little book. It two layers of dust jacket with the outer most translucent. Inside, the thick, glossy pages are an excellent medium for the frequent full-color images generally of exotic, rare, and detailed chess sets. The books touches on the history of human migrations, military technology, cultural exchange seen in the evolution of pieces in their style and usage. A real treat for anyone with appreciation of the art of chess. Chapters cover ecumenes, and eras.
