Wilson Chess Books
If you are ever in New York's "chess district,"
you will have to drop by Wilson's shop at 80 East
11th Street, Suite 334. It's tucked away in an old
office building. And though it's a small space,
it has a surprisingly rich collection of materials
for sale. You never know what great used and new
books he'll have. Check out his catalogue online.
