My Bobby Fischer book collection

Post by David Dahlem »

There are many Bobby Fischer books, and i have a few of them in my collection ...

Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess by Bobby Fischer
My 60 Memorable Games by Bobby Fischer
Bobby Fischer: His Approach by Elie Agur
The Bobby Fischer I Knew & Other Stories by Arnold S. Denker
The Complete Games of Bobby Fischer by R. G. Wade and Kevin J. O'Connell
Fischer Vs. Spassky: World Chess Championship Match, 1972 by Svetozar. GligoriC
Bobby Fischer: Profile of a Prodigy by Frank Brady

It's been many years since i read "Bobby Fischer: Profile of a Prodigy by Frank Brady". I think i'll get it out and read it again. I think it was written in 1965, before he became World Champion, and is a great book on Fischers life story up to that point in time.

I'm sure there will be a big rush to acquire Fischer books now that he is gone.

Thanks Timothy

These old books are probably out of print now and worth a fortune. :-)

But i would never part with any of mine. There will probably be some reissues and new releases, and i would like to get my hands on some of them. I expect them to go for high prices though.

Albert Silver had deleted my post. I was asking for pdf books about Bobby Fischer. Don't mind, I have some good links in others forums. Censorship here make it stinks :twisted:

WHat I forgot to mention about this book is that it has a lot of personal observations about Fischer from people who hung around him to a degree or less.
