Prof.
Dušan B. Drajić from the Belgrade University had just joined our
association (in March 2010) when he announced his new bibliographic project,
and he has since pursued it with a remarkable determination and energy.
His intention was a 4-volume bibliography of the Yugoslavian chess literature
from 1886 to the present in a bilingual edition (English/Serbian), and already
shortly after midyear 2010 he could present the first volume of the planned
work. As per decision of the KWA board it was given as a gift to our members.

It
took an additional half year only till the second volume was published (in
February 2011), and at the moment (April/May 2011) the work on volume III
is already in progress – it is supposed to see the light of day still
in the course of this year. The books have been published in a convenient
handy format (160 x 240 mm), moreover as hardback editions with thread-stitching
pleasingly sturdy and optimally suited for a long-lasting use. The circulation
is 300 copies in each case. You will find further details about the books
in the reproduced forewords.

Dušan
B. Drajić has realised his work with high commitment in a surprisingly
short time (- we have no doubts that part III will be "timely"
available to us as well) and has acted here as author, translator, designer,
producer and distributor in one person! His bibliography is an additional
"building block" of the complete bibliography of chess literature
worldwide.
Here we have to appreciate as well the valuable cooperation of our Welsh
member Leonard Skinner who has exemplarily finished the proof-reading of
the English parts of volume I and II.
KWA members can order volume II directly from the author - mailto:drajic@etf.rs
- after having transferred 12 euros (including postage; or 15 US$ for US/NA
members) to our club account.
