Here are two examples of what I mean with "overview books": http://www.amazon.com/The-Immortal-Game-History-Chess/dp/1400034086 http://www.amazon.com/Sword-Gladiators-Musketeers-Swashbucklers-anniversary/dp/0812969669 The first covers the history of chess, with ample digressions on chess and literature,…
