The price is 5,95 British Pound
On the backflap text we read :
"Mike Basman is one of the most famous eccentrics of the chess world - but was he always like this ?
This book of his early years, written when he was about 15 year old, shows a more orthodox player,
who, steeped in the books of the great chess popularisers Fred Reinfeld and Irving Chernev,
played regular openings such as the Giuoco Piano. Queens Gambit and Sicilian Defence.
As such, the books is a marvellous instructional work for any young player hoping to rise up from the amateur and novice ranks to become a succesful performer on the national and international stage.
How far can YOU go ? "
PS I want to express my appreciation to IM Welling for letting me know about it.

At last here you can read a preview of it.
A great tool to minimize opening study and to create a sound and rock solid opening repertoire.
It's exactly what the non master tournament player needs!
