The original publisher was Playfair Books Ltd of London, which had its office at Curzon Street when the first edition was published in April 1948; the company relocated soon afterwards to Haymarket. The name Playfair was chosen because it reads as "play fair", as confirmed by C B Fry who began his foreword to the first edition in 1948: "This Playfair Annual (and what a proper title for a book about the Noble Game) will commend itself to innumerable readers". [3] The first editor was Peter West who was succeeded in 1954 by Gordon Ross. [4] Roy Webber was the statistician at Playfair for many years and was described by West as "that ace of statisticians".
