GM Lombardy Self-Publishes His Latest Book

For the younger players; GM William "Bill" Lombardy was a world class player during the "Fischer Era". His phenomenal score of 11 out of 11 while winning the World Junior Championship in 1957 has never been equalled before or since. GM Lombardy was Fischer's second during his successful match against Spassky for the World Championship; although by all accounts Fischer refused to use his services.

Lombardy was an ordained Catholic Priest in his younger years, later giving up the priesthood to marry and start a family.

Hans Ree reviewed the book in the latest volume of New In Chess, 2012 #1, and mentioned that the sole distributor was the author. This set me on a google search to find how to order a copy. The only place I could find ordering information was at this link.Order book here.
