Think about this: Bobby Fischer wrote a book in 1959. Published by
Simon and Schuster it is completely forgotten today. I cannot even
find a reference to it anywhere, not even as a used book. Do you know
where I can find it?


It's called "Bobby Fischer's Games of Chess", a small book, 97 pages.
Fischer's introduction is dated August, 1958. The book, dedicated to
Carmine Nigro, consists of a biographical intro, Fischer's games,
lightly annotated, from the U.S. Championship, played 12/17/57 through
1/8/58, plus his games, unannotated, from the Portoroz 1958
Interzonal. Fischer acknowledges help from John W. Collins "in the
preparation of the manuscript".


That is the right book.

Do you have the book or know anybody who has one?
