Complete Games of Alekhine, Vol. 3

Volume 3 contains 297 games with annotations from Alekhine and his contemporaries. The world's major (and minor!) newspaper and periodical libraries have been scoured for information and games and as a result this book contains a large amount of hitherto unknown biographical and background information as recorded in contemporary sources.

As usual the indexing and referencing is excellent. Also includes 14 pages of photographs on art paper.
