Chess Openings - An Introduction - New Book

I recently wrote a book on Chess openings intended for intermediate club players. Take a look if you feel like learning the fundamentals of the 38 main openings. Title is: Chess Openings - An Introduction and includes a 60 page summary of lines with both popularity and success ratio.

An introduction to openings is a great idea. However the sample displayed on Amazon shows only the table of contents. Does not show a single diagram, notation nor any instructional text.

Unfortunately I've purchased books unseen that have tiny or difficult to read diagrams, unusual figurines, or atypical notation. Astonishingly some books have positions without indicating the side to move. In recent years I've declined to purchase books without seeing some of the material. Sadly there are few chess books in the stores within a hundred miles.

Completely agree. I'm doing my best for the amazon guys to display at least the preface, t

I was saying....the prefacio,

The introduction and first opening..hope everyone can check

The intro on Amazon looks good to start with. However, as @little_ernie mentioned, having visual content can help make it better. If they are already in the book, maybe you can share a couple images here for others to see and get a better idea about the book.

Several chess book publishers make PDF excerpts/sample pages of their books available on their website.

Here is an example from Quality Chess....
