First of all, my congratulations. This de luxe edition – printed on very good paper – is a wonderfull book and I think it will be a mile-stone in Chess-literature. I can imagine how much time you had to spend in order to finish this work. Really it´s great and very valuable. [R. Glenk, GER]

I think this book gives a good view what has been published on chess, especially in a part of the world most chessplayers in the West are unaware off. I congratulate you with this excellent book! [L. Spaans, NLD]

Limited edition copy no.8 (v. 1.0) is in front of me as I write. Before I purchased it I did wonder if there would be value for money […] in a 300-page book. But I need not have worried — the information and quite remarkable richesse of coloured illustrations both “bowl me over”. I am very happy to have your wonderful, and ground-breaking, book. The only difficulty is where to place it on my bookshelves! Congratulations! There will be a review in EG. [J. Roycroft, UK]

Your book has arrived […] It is a pleasure to look at. I have already spent a lot of time looking through it and I must find some more time … Congratulations on such a fine work. [T. Gillam, UK]

The book looks very nice, especially printed on the de luxe paper and with all the coloured illustrations, and clear to read. [T. Peterson, UK]

The RO-ABC is really your master piece. At the first glance I am deeply impressed by your research work but also by the way of presentation (coloured photos) you choose. [M. Negele, GER]

Your book RO-ABC arrived […]. I must tell you it is WONDERFUL! I cannot stop reading it. The production is excellent with so many color photos, very clear explanations, and an enormous amount of information. [A. Savage, USA]

A very good looking bibliography with detailed content. [P. Holmgren, SWE]
