	Interesting the way the votes are currently running. I'm a little surprised at some of the votes, but not at others. Modified my post as i didnt realise the vote was hidden. Apologies if anyone found my earlier post talking about the votes case so far inappropriate. I thought in previous years we had discussed the vote as it was underway, but perhaps my mind is playing tricks on me.

	Hello. Is it supposed to be an open poll (as opposed to members poll)? May the best book win!

	Yes, think you should combine the threads. Will avoid confusion and keep everything in one place. BTW, I didn't think that Gabriel was saying that I hadn't included books from the other thread. Just that when the threads get combined and we start the poll, we ought to make sure all the nominations are included. That is sound advice since there is now an additional nomination -- Kuzmin's Zaitsev book -- that came in after I made my list.

Perhaps combine both threads and ensure all nominated books on both threads are included in poll? I think he has included all the books from the other thread into his list in this one. I'm happy to combine threads if everyone thinks it worthwhile.

	Interesting. I have copy right here as well that say Copyright 2015 and I purchased it in December 2015. I definitely remember voting for it a year ago in the 2015 Book of the Year thread. Everyman has it listed as 2015 on this site.: https://www.everymanchess.com/opening-repertoire-the-open-games-with-black "Book Pub Date 31 Oct 2015 Book Pub Date (US) 31 Dec 2015"

My copy says that it's copyright January 2016, but maybe that's just the American version or something? Anyway I don't see the thread now, either.

	Ever since ChessCafe.com went under a couple years ago, there remains an opportunity for ChessPub.com to take over awarding the CHESS BOOK OF THE YEAR award. But ChessPub.com seems intent on Not branching out beyond its Opening Book charter. Seems like an opportunity squandered. . The test is whether chess publishers would put little mentions like "Voted 'Best Chess Book of 2016' by ChessPub.com!". My guess is that publishers would - because they like to sell more books.
