@phil-a-dork saidIf you happen to visit Dresden (Saxonia, Germany) you find one in Oskar-Mai-Strasse 6...
Thanks and maybe I will buy it but I was hoping for a dealer who specializes in old chess books.
I doubt that they have the precise book you look for, but y0u can find some gems (mostly German and Russian antiquaric books).

I actually met him once in New York.
It's a small room with a massive amount of books.
He had a cat there too LoL.
He got offended when I said I like his books with co-author Bruce Albertson.
His name is Alberston not Albertson

I worked on most of Fred's books as a proof-reader. I've known him for over 40 years, and yes, he is that crabby, I think he was born that way!

I recall Fred Wilson's place to be much smaller than a small room. A generously sized closet is what a real estate agent would pitch.
