MASTERPIECE GAMES EXPANDS ITS BOOK DISTRIBUTION
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

23rd September 1997

Masterpiece Games Inc. announces that Barnes & Noble Book Stores, a book-retailing giant in the United States, will now distribute its books.

Russell Miller, Business Manager for International Chess Enterprises stated:

"The addition of Barnes & Noble as a distributor of our books fits in perfectly with our strategy of making our titles as widely available as possible. Barnes & Noble joins our other distributors which include Ingram Book Company, Borders Books, Amazon.com, as well as our own Internet, retail and mail order means of distributing. The key to expanding our book division is through distribution of our existing titles. We've had strong book sales through the year and expect good sales throughout the Christmas season."
