Anyone happy with some old chess magazines (many) and books (a few)? Partly from Holland partly from Russia (around the time of the perestroika) and partly from East Germany? Most books are written in the German language. Magazines mainly in the Dutch and Russian (Cyrillic) language If people are interested I'll make a list.
Transport costs are yours; the books and magazines are free. If there are more people interested in the books and magazines I will split the bundle in several parts.

I will send everybody who gave a sign of interest a PM for the list is here. Please let me know in this thread what you would favour. Some books I have double or triple; so don't be shy.

The books are free, no costs. If you want, contribute something to a tournament of RHP or just contribute to the new server.
Please answer in this thread and not by email, so I get all the wishes in one thread.
If there is more interest than books, I'll split the books evenly. So put your favorite as first (they are numbered in the list below)

Sir Lot!

The weekly and monthly magazines are already gone. Akizy wrote me he would like the russian magazines. I promised them already more than a month ago (Akizy, they are coming soon)
The Dutch collection went to a chess club.
But I put you as first on the list for the books!
Thanx for your email.
