Gudmundsson (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 5791) First edition signed edition limited to 100 copies. In the winter of 1950 Lodewijk Prins, backed by a committee presided over by Hendrik Jan Van Steenis, organized an international chess tournament that was held at the stock exchange in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Invitations went out to all the strongest chess masters of the day, whether they reside in Europe, the Soviet Union, or the Americas. The Soviet Chess Federation declined the invitations sent to their masters (they would refrain from entering international competitions until late 1952), as did Lazslo Szabo. Nevertheless, the eventual line-up was still one of the finest selections to be found of the best, active Western chess masters of the day. The field was notable also for the healthy mix of both early century chess mastery and post-war talent emerging for the next generation. All of the best Dutch masters were present, including former world champion Max Euwe and the recent Hoogovens champion, 23 year old Jan Hein Donner. Another example of the generational split among the players was the presence of Savielly Tartakower, who had played against all the greats of the early 20th century, and his former pupil Miguel Najdorf who journeyed from Argentina to attend the event. Other notable participants both young and old were Samuel Reshevsky from the United States, Swedish champion Gideon Stahlberg, Yugoslavian players Svetozar Gligoric and Vasja Pirc, and Belgium's strongest master Alberic O'Kelly de Galway. All twenty players participated in the round robin event from November 11th to December 9th. G. van Harten served as wedstrijdleider (chief arbiter). The event was a spectacular run for Najdorf, who won clear first undefeated with 15 points out of 19 rounds. He earned wins against half the field, further cementing his status as one of the best players in the world at the time (there had been controversy surrounding his absence from the 1948 world championship tournament). However, Najdorf only finished one point ahead of clear second place Reshevsky who also finished undefeated, scoring an impressive 9 wins in the process. Stahlberg also had 9 wins, but tragically could not share second place with...

[Signed] [First Edition] The Kirk Moose and Other Stories [Scots Language]. DERWENT, Lavinia (Elizabeth DODD) [Used - Fine] [Hardcover] [Signed] [First Edition] The Kirk Moose and Other Stories [Scots Language]. DERWENT, Lavinia (Elizabeth DODD) [Used - Fine] [Hardcover] 165.18 CAD Glasgow, William Maclellan, [circa 1951]. Quarto, 72 pages with numerous two-colour illustrations by William Crosbie (even then, a well-known Scottish artist). Green-pictorial bright yellow cloth lettered in green; endpapers offset; essentially a very fine copy with the unclipped colour-pictorial dustwrapper slightly marked and a little chipped, with a jagged tear and minor loss to the foot of the rear panel near the spine. Lavinia Derwent was the pseudonym of Elizabeth Dodd (1909-1989), a Scottish broadcaster and author, mainly of works of fiction for children. 'Thousands of young people follow the comic strip adventures of Tammy Troot from day to day and know the other fascinating little Scots characters created by Lavinia Derwent for the BBC Children's Hour. With this book, which is the first to be published by Miss Derwent in Scots .' (dustwrapper blurb). It appears to have been her last, and a sample sentence from 'Puffin' Billy' might help explain why: 'He aye likit this pairt o' his traivels best o' a', for to tell ye the truth he wasna' ower keen on the dirdum o' the toons'. Loosely inserted is a letter from the author (small octavo, 3 pages; Glasgow, 5 May 1986); signed 'Lavinia', it is a cheery note of support to an old friend. A later (and late) Christmas card, with a small sticker giving her address as a Glasgow nursing home, is also included; it is signed somewhat shakily 'Lavinia & T Troot'.
