Subject: What Better Gift to Give to a Friend for Only $100

The newly revised ACF website informs us that for only a $100 donation or more you will receive a copy of the 8th International Tournament Book, which will certainly be a must for every draughtsman's library. What better gift to give to your draught friends--perhaps for their birthday or Christmas of this year.

It is my understanding the book will be of limited numbers and by subscription only . It will be of annotated games and contain photos and will be professionally done. I think the $100.00 is not so much for the book, but to raise much needed funds for the match expenses.
