Interesting book review here:

'Chess Masterpieces'

In "Chess Masterpieces," George Dean uses his collection to illustrate the variety and artistry of what most people see as a schoolchild's game.It's an engaging story that helps explain the passion many of us have for the sets as well as the game.

...

"Chess Masterpieces" is a biblio gem.It combines a valuable historical discussion of the development of chess with a truly invaluable pictorial record of the progression of chess sets.By presenting the beauty, diversity and history of chess sets as well as the game of chess, George Dean shows how one of the world's most common games has become an important force of artistic development.
Yet another chess book to add to my ever-increasing list.
