Clearly written and beautifully organised, it will appeal to all chess players but particularly club players.

An Excellent Choice for Most

The LIF company is wonderful to work with! The quality of the cookbook is excellent - it is very well made and absolutely lays flat, making recipe access so much more convenient. I returned the cookbook, due only to our family's tastes in very simple food. This cookbook will be an excellent choice for most, thus the "5" stars.

Simple, perfect

Would make good for cookbooks or instructions. Mine sits on the tank of the toilet and makes for easy one handed operation. Thanks!

Makes life easier

I have a standard bound copy of this book and the further I got in the book, the harder it was to keep it open. Hal Leonard and Mel Bay use spiral binding on their combined volume method books. Just glad for Lay-It-Flat books.

Puzzle-Pet time

This puzzle book is perfect for my designated morning coffee and what my dog hears me refer to "puzzle-pet" time. With one hand for my dog and only one hand for puzzling, a book that lays flat is a no-brainer! I am thoroughly enjoying my purchase and so is my pup.

Good Job

This book is literally flat beside my computer. I can look at the book and listen to the computer at the same time resulting in a much better learning experience. Job well done!
