Unpaginated but circa 120pp, colour illustrations throughout. In glossy hard covers (a little shelf worn, lightly bumped spine base). Internally neat, clean and bright. Square and firmly bound. A very nice copy of this now hard to find celebration and records of the making the musical, Chess, with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by ABBA band members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. Complete with libretto of the main songs and numerous photographs of the production, forming a handsome pictorial record of a piece of theatre history. A newspaper sheet, with a full page advertisement for the launch of the musical at the Prince Edward Theatre, from 1986 or 1987, loosely laid it. A now hard to find title.
