One of the first printed books in English (William Caxton) was a chess book.
Does any one know of a place where I can read it on line. Has it been updated
into modern English? I was holding my breath waiting for the algebraic
edition--like that's going to happen.

I'm researching this myself (for those who meet requests for information with a
"go get it yourself, you lazy ass) and what information I find I will gladly
share.
