Hi mariann, that book may be a bit of a challenge to scan. I am working on the
Complete idiots Guide to chess.
The one bit of advise from playing chess, is to have a physical chess board in
front of you while you are playing or reading the books. It just makes the
moves conceps and ideas much more clearer. A functional and good set can be
bought for $20 from www.braillebookstore.com there are other sets but tis one
is a good beginner one and not a huge investment when others can cost twice to
three times as much. It isn't a conversation piece though as the others can
be, as it is pretty rough but functional.
But I have a feeling from workng on other "for Dummies" books that you are
going to need some sighted assistance with it. have fun with the chess. I
started learning chess through the hadley course.

their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever committed.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Books I am scanning
I will be scanning the following two books. Both are by Rhys Boen.
In Dublin's FairCity
Oh Danny Boy
I've also just started playing email chess and I've ordered a book from our
library. Would there be someone in the group who could work on the diagrams as
necessary for me? I haven't seen the book yet so don't know what it is like.
It's just a good place for me to start. The book is:
Chess for Dummies
If anyone would be interested in helping with this project, I'll get more
info about the chess book. I probably won't have the book for a week or so so
don't know how feasible it will be for me to do it.
Are there any chess books on the site? I don't know how to look by subject.
Thanks.
