Dust cover shows shelf wear (doing its job!).  Actual hardcover and interior excellent condition--maybe I detect a little off-white yellowing. Covers the Four Knights' game and Spanish. Author is one of the best players ever so even his dated variations are of interest. Text is German and games in German algebraic (not figurine algebraic). If you don't care about the text, you can study the variations, according to:  King=(K)oening   Queen=(D)amen   Bishop=(L)aufer   Knight=(S)pringer  Rook=(T)urm .  325 pages
