	Discussion in net.chess reminded me of a really delightful
book: "My One Contribution to Chess," by F. V. Morley (Stewart, New
York, 1946), which is probably out of print long since.  It's 10%
about chess and 90% autobiography.  The author was the brother of the
writer, and son of the mathematician who discovered Morley's theorem;
the father was a fine chess player.

	The book is only about a hundred pages long, but is
beautifully written and presents a charming picture of family life
around the turn of the century.  You occasionally see copies in used
bookstores; it's well worth picking up if you find one.
