Above are covers of three chess books printed in Israel, respectively, in 1959 (Ha'derech Le'nizahor Be'sachmat), 1973 (133 Malcodot Ba'ptichot, 2nd edition) and 1963 (222 Tachbulot, 1st edition.) The publication dates and more information are found in the links above.
It is obvious that the same graphic design cover was used in all three books, and indeed, a similar shade of green was used in the 1959 and 1974 books. Are there other similar cases of unrelated chess books - not even, in this case, all from the same author - using the exact same graphic design?
