As we celebrate another Halloween we can give a free plug to the coolest book cover that has nothing to do with chess! In a recent Chess Life article they note that the book “Breaking Dawn” is actually the third book in a wildly popular vampire saga. The over 700 page tome doesn’t even allude to strategy or have a single mention of the royal game.
I came across this book at the end of the summer while on a family vacation in Nantucket. I was intrigued by the cover and was wondering what this new chess book was all about. As I leafed through the pages, I realized that this wasn’t a chess book at all!
I’m not sure what the author Stephanie Meyer was thinking when she agreed to this design, but it is a really striking image and a cool cover. So for all you vampire lovers out there – you might want to check this one out for yourself.
