Weight: 8.5 ounces. Reprint Edition (1960); First Printing Thus, so stated. The hardcover edition was published in 1952. Trade Paperback. This beautifully written and well organized book is not a primer. It doesn't discuss openings, make suggestions to improve your game or suggest a better defense for Ruy Lopez.
