The signing of contracts has been delayed, and not even the title is yet definitive.<BR/><BR/>It's clear that it will be a book mainly written from Black's point of view, and it will not be a 'narrow' repertoire book as Black will be offered some choice between lines we consider sound. However, there will be a page limit, so how many options we can offer Black is not yet clear.Sverre Johnsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796086172553035906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097677957983331811.post-48000483183915500982007-09-17T00:28:00.000+01:002007-09-17T00:28:00.000+01:00Sverre,thanks for replying so quick.

Oh well, at least it sounds as if the book is still expected to appear eventually.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your Stonewall book for Gambit. Will this be a 'Play the Stonewall' repertoire kind of book or more like 'The Stonewall Explained' a survey of the opening? <BR/><BR/>I'll keep my eye out for your book next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097677957983331811.post-91260614210688997892007-09-16T20:59:00.000+01:002007-09-16T20:59:00.000+01:00My sources say "Definitely not due before 15th Oct...My sources say "Definitely not due before 15th October. My guess is not before Christmas.". My interpretation is that Batsford has not yet received the manuscript and it will take more than a month to proof-read and print it.<BR/><BR/>I will not say more about my source, except that I later have had the estimate confirmed.Sverre Johnsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796086172553035906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097677957983331811.post-91639007402429533182007-09-16T16:04:00.000+01:002007-09-16T16:04:00.000+01:00What a shame!

Did they think it likely the book will eventually appear?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
