I had not found this page before. It causes some emotion to me because I had been in contact with JWB and I didn't know that he is no more with us. It was in 1998, Hans was the webmaster of the CVP, and I was struggling to find a publisher for my manuscript which became my 1st book two years after, Guide des échecs exotiques et insolites. I had got a copy of Meta-Chess, second edition, and I had found few details to be corrected. John sent me an e-mail on 8 May 1998 (I don't why but I printed it and I still have the copy in that book) to answer this, where he was saying "Somehow I knew that I would benefit by having a Franch (his typo) customer. The French are thought, by Americans, to have a unique perspective on things."
Time is passing so fast.
I think that it is right to post his book here. I'm sure he wanted to be read by interested people as much as possible.
