Mihail Marin is a grandmaster from Romania. His books for Quality Chess have established him as one of the world's finest chess authors.Yuri Garrett is an Italian publisher and tournament organizer.

"A new publication in the best tradition of chess writing: a serious tournament book… I would like you to see Reggio Emilia 2007/2008 as an intriguing and well-written novel, rather than 'just another' chess book on the market… Marin takes us by the hand towards a crystal-clear understanding of the games… This is simply top level chess entertainment…. I hope readers will consider buying this very charming book; perhaps it will energize publishers to publish more serious tournament reports. It's too beautiful a tradition to be written off already." -- Arne Moll, ChessVibes
