SAZOMOV'S MEMOIRS



I have just ordered two copies of FATEFUL YEARS 1909-1916 (The
Reminiscences of SergeSazonov G.C.B., G.C.V.O. Russian Minister for
Foreign Affairs: 1914)


Sam Sloan

The Sazonov Book Project is moving along. I have already designed the
cover and assigned an ISBN Number to it. When it is published, it will
appear at:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891323

That eminent, distinguished and renowned historian Larry Parr will be
writing the introduction.

Meanwhile, The President's Daughter by Nan Britton is out. It is
listed on Amazon but they have not put up the price or the picture
yet. They should have completed that within a few hours.

I don't recall ever having any such exchange with Mr. Parr, either
publicly or privately. Would you, or Mr. Parr for that matter, care to
repost or provide a link to the exchange in question?

Neil, the "NB" in this case is Nick Bourbaki.

OK, thanks for the clarification. Obviously I missed those posts. And
I probably didn't miss much.

I look forward to that, Larry, _if_ you can keep it civil. My post
about WW I in 1917 was written strictly out of my interest in history,
and not to score rcgp "gotcha" points or any such nonsense. I have my
opinions about what could and could not have happened in 1917, but I
make no pretense of ominscience. So feel free to advance your
opinions, with whatever support they may have. As long as you keep it
civil, I'll do likewise.

I would like to take this (rare) opportunity to point
out that TK is absolutely correct; I was indeed
referring to Neil Bourbaki-- the fellow who insisted
that every academic who ever existed has always
agreed with his every whim, on each and every
issue, period.


OK, thanks for the clarification. Obviously I missed those posts. And
I probably didn't miss much.


Wrong. Compared to what we are normally
subjected to, I would say that those postings were
far more interesting and much less focused on
ad hominem-- by a country mile. This may in part
be due to the fact that Larry Evans was not
involved (most first-class academics agreed he
neither started the war nor affected its outcome).
Granted, those postings had nothing to do with
chess, but then neither does arrogance nor ad
hominem, which together made up the bulk of
their other writings... .

You can expect it out in a month.

If you want to write an introduction I will publish it in the book. I
always include an introduction in my reprints.

Forget the New York Public Library. That is a research library. You
cannot check books. Also, when I reprint a book I take it apart and
dismember it. I cut apart all the pages. It cannot be returned to the
library.

Also, forget the Herbert Yardley books. They have all been reprinted
in 2004 and 2005 and are available everywhere cheap.

I use bookfinder.com all the time. It is my main place to search.

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?

My only working email now is Write to me there.
Also, you can write to the Amherst County Sheriff and ask him politely
to let me have my websites back.

You write above "SAZAMOV'S MEMOIRS" Is that a spelling mistake, or is
SAZAMOV another one of those White Russians?

Sam

Dear Larry Parr,

I have finished the Sazonov book and I have just emailed it to you.
Check your email. The book is ready to go to the printers as soon as
you write the introduction. Try not to take too long and to do a good
job.

When it is published it will be available at:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891323

The Elo book came out yesterday. It is available at:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891277

The Dolly Gann book came out two days ago. It is available at:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891080

And of course the Nan Britton book came out last week at:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891234

and the revised Japanese language book came out three says ago at:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891129

Five new books in one week is a good number, even for me!

Oh. I forgot. The Alice in Wonderland book I revised with better
drawings of Alice this past week too!

The book is out !!!!! The Sazonov book with an introduction by Larry
Parr has been reprinted today.

Within about three or four days it will be listed for sale on Amazon
at
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0923891323

Too bad that Larry Parr does not know about this, as his computer is
still broke.
