Binding Problem
Hi there,

I work for the Chess'n Math Association, the company that published this book. We did have a batch of these books which were poorly bound. Anyone who sends us their cover from this book, will receive a brand new book at no charge. Send your cover to: Chess'n Math, 116 West Service Road #133 Champlain NY 12919. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Larry Bevand

Pages Falling Out
My kids like the book. My 12 year old has about an 800 rating and thinks its a little too easy but he's not far into the book yet. My 8 year old - not rated - thinks its a challenge. Problem with the binding on the copy we received and many pages coming out.
