Age (83) and infirmity, 4 years of living with Long Covid19 (look it up) have finally caught up with Bob Jones and Keverel Chess Books, and his website has been forced to close down.
Bob had been in the second hand chess book business for 14 years, the last 12 of which featured an excellent website, run by fellow Exmothian, Richard Seymour (Web Bite Design) – who, I hasten to add, is still many years away from retiring! Without his expertise my business would have been much the poorer.
I would like to thank him and my loyal customers for helping to keep the show on the road so admirably.
As far as I know, there were only ever 2 people involved in this arcane line of work, so this now leaves the field clear for Tony Peterson. (tony@chessbooks.co.uk ) We were never rivals and I owe him a debt of gratitude for sharing his depth of knowledge over the years.
All the best
Bob
