I have searched the German Language site ofhttp://www.bookfinder.com
and nowhere is the 1880 edition of Bilguer's Handbuch available.

Quick repeat: Search for 'Handbuch des schachspiels', first hit I get
is for Bilguer: Handbuch des schachspiels (no year) along with a
number of
other hits. Select that one. On second page I find one (or is it two)
entries
from Antiquariat Querido, and one from Antiquariat Bucherwelt for the
1880 edition.

Of course, things change from day to day, so I can't promise they
still will be
there tomorrow.

And as to 'not found anywhere in the world', I check outwww.abebooks.com
for the title, restrict hits to 1880, and out pops both the Querido
book,
and one from Sinnewerk (bookshop in Berlin).

Perhaps you should have mentioned that the price they are charging for
the book is $384.25

I plan to charge a bit less for my reprint.

Also, it seems uncertain that they are offering the same book. I
realize that they say 1880 but there is nothing else to indicate that
it is the same edition as I am reprinting.
