Old Chess Books Rescued

[Simon Rogers]

Hi all.
I need some help please.
A chess colleague rescued some chess equipment that were literally about to be binned by some workers at a venue where a chess club played a number of years ago, that then folded.
The chess players disappeared off the scene and a number sadly passed away.
Included, is six old chess books.
Just need some help from forum members regarding value, age and history of the author and book as well as the comments written inside the front cover.
I will gradually post these in the Chess History Topic.
Many thanks, Simon.

What titles and editions do you have?

[Simon Rogers]

Here is the first one:
Basic Chess Endings by Reuben Fine
Reprinted in January 1958 in the United States of America.
Light Blue plain book, about A5 in size.

[John Townsend]

It should have a pale blue dust-wrapper. In good condition, it is probably worth around £10.
