The Granite state checker series ..
A checkers problem book by L. M. Stearns, published by the author at Derry Depot, New Hampshire, in 1889, for players of the game. Its pictures are small diagrams of eight-by-eight checkerboards with black and white pieces, showing positions to be solved; a designer might take the grid and piece-placement logic as a clean, schematic structure for pattern or game-board graphics.
