A new set of draft pages for the revised and updated bibliography: Poems and Problems, a collection of 39 poems in Russian with Nabokov’s English translations, 14 poems in English, 18 chess problems, and solutions to the problems. For a book presenting works that Nabokov wasn’t well-known for, it commands a relatively high price in the rare book market. It was first published in 1971 by McGraw-Hill. It is A41 in the 1986 bibliography.

I bought a 1st edition copy of P&P for $350.00 from a bookseller in California in 2000. It was the only 1st hardcover ed. available online then.
