Supposedly the most influential chessbook in print for over a hundred years, the last edition was printed in 1918 or so, edited by Schlechter, with contributions by Tarrasch,Spielman, Teichman, and a few other greats of the era. It was over a thousand pages and was considered the chess players bible before ECO, etc., came along.
Has anybody ever seen this book? I'd love to have a copy, and I can't believe that no one has ever brought out a new edition.

Originally posted by DrumboI had heard of it, but I'd imagine the material inside was updated, and compiled into other, newer books.

a search on the web turned up a couple of hits by chess booksellers. so it is not rare as it is available for purchase price under $100
