Another Spring, another Lifeline Bookfair. This years event was very good, with lots of excellent books on various topics of interest. For the chess books, the number was small, but the quality was high. I grabbed 6 or 7 books, some for myself and some for others. There were even some recent opening books on offer, but based on the topic (QGD) I assume someone is rethinking their current opening choices.
Another topic of interest is programming books. There were more than a few up-to-date books (ie published in the last 3 years) as well as a nice section of what might be termed 'vintage' IT (eg "Programming the Z80")
If you are planning to attend (it runs tomorrow and Sunday at EPIC, Canberra) their may be no chess books left. However if you are a poker player, or enjoy Contract Bridge, there are many many books to choose from.
