While working on this page trying to find links to reviews and information about the Library books below I came across this page ChessCafe Reviews and found it interesting. If a Library book is underlined you can click on it and get some type of additional information, a review or just a picture of it's cover. (Sometimes links get broken, So let me know and I will try to update them. PeoriaChess@sbcglobal.net) Or if you want even more info just cut and paste the title into GOOGLE. Note that the links below that take you to Amazon pages have Search Inside the books as a feature.
