Bob Long. Publisher of over 100 Thinkers' press titles since 1973. Publisher of many chess magazines including the Chess Atlas, Lasker & His Contemporaries, and SQUARES.

At one time I was one of the largest chess retailers in the world and bought and sold to other specialists as well as collectors.

Have met many fabulous people over a 30 year period including Fischer, Karpov, and Spassky.

If you don't enjoy chess games, I can show you a few other things, whether it is history, anecdotes... whatever.

I prefer to work on annotated games with those rated under 2100. I can act as coach or consultant on the many aspects of chess.

If you are thinking of publishing something on chess, I can help you there also. I've published works by Korchnoi, AD Martin, CJS Purdy, and many others.

I live in Davenport, Iowa, USA, since going to college there. Art, mathematics, computers, music, publishing, business, or chess... are among my many interests.
