My most treasured chess book

My wife got this for me from Nancy Edmonson after Ed died. I was a friend of Ed's.

I think so since Lombardy was Fischer's second at the match. Fischer ditched Larry Evans since Evans wanted to write about the match. Note the $6.95 price on the jacket.

Re: My most treasured chess book

I thought it was cool that I had a first ed. paperback of "My 60 Memorable Games" even though since it's a paperback and I read it a lot the spine split in two...

So yeah, that's pretty cool

Yeah, when I first saw the thread title I figured I'd post my most treasured chess book here, and that other people would as well. Then I saw the OP and was like nah, can't top that.
