It
is not easy to deal with somebody you do not know personally, at least
in the beginning. To help to overcome this problem, I've created this
page with my short resume and a few references from chess collectors.

Alexander
Baburin.
I was born in 1967 in Gorky(now Nizhny Novgorod), Russia. I have
been living in Dublin, Ireland since 1993. I am a professional chess
player, coach, journalist, author and publisher. My Internet projects
include a daily electronic newspaper 'Chess
Today'. I was always interested in chess literature and
in 1995 I became a book dealer (specializing in Russian chess literature).
Over the years I developed good rapport with many collectors and
dealers world-wide. I have been supplying books (mainly in Russian)
to the Royal Dutch Library in Hague and to the Cleveland Public
Library in USA.

Reference
1. "It has been a great pleasure for the Royal Library in The
Hague to work with Alexander Baburin. His bibliographical descriptions
are very thorough and his catalogues a joy to go through. Baburin's service
is excellent in all ways, which is very important for a library as ours
since many departments are involved in the process of ordering books."
Henriette Reerink, Acting Curator, Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana,
Royal Library, The Hague.
Reference 2. "I have 'electronically' known GM Baburin for
about two years, and not only has he proven to be a strong Grandmaster
and excellent author, but also a most reliable book dealer - a rare combination
indeed. I can only wish him a well deserved success in his new auction
site, and hope that he will be coming with more rarities (I still have
some more in my wish list!)." Eduardo Bauzá Mercére,
(New York, USA).
Reference 3. "I have been dealing with Alex Baburin for
several years and have been very pleased with the selection offered by
Alex and with his excellent and prompt service. His catalogues are very
detailed and a joy to read." Michael D. Sharpe (Canada).
Reference 4. "I am happy to recommend Alexander Baburin
as a man with whom it is a pleasure to do business with. His honesty is
impeccable, and he treats his customers like family. Once, an uninsured
order of mine was lost in the mail, and Alexander made up for the lost
order even though he was under no obligation to do so. He is a Grandmaster
of chess and of customer relations." Richard Reich, MD (Madison,
USA)
