  1. Tim Harding, Eminent Victorian Chess Players (McFarland, 2012) [link], pp.5,112,122,134,143-145,205,228,233,238,260,270,312,315-321,356,359,361,376,380
    • The standards of chess history writing have improved greatly in recent decades. Tim Harding is one of the best of the current group of writers producing accurate chess history and biography. This book is chess history at its best - well-researched but also a really enjoyable read. Edo ratings are used quite extensively.
  2. Tim Harding, Joseph Henry Blackburne, A Chess Biography (McFarland, 2015) [link], pp.542,550
    • Thorough, comprehensive, impeccably written, and deeply researched. Amongst the recent crop of new chess biographies, this is one of a handful that stand out above the rest. Some player and tournament information from the Edo website is discussed.
  3. Tim Harding, British Chess Literature to 1914 (McFarland, 2018) [link], pp.56,202,292,362,370
    • By far the best account of literature on Chess in Britain and Ireland ever published, and immediately indispensible to anyone researching chess history before the First World War. While it doesn't have the worldwide coverage of Whyld's list of chess columns, or Di Felice's list of chess periodicals, it covers all forms of chess literature (columns, magazines, books, and even websites) in the British context comprehensively and accurately, clarifying a great deal of confusion in some areas. And besides, it is thoroughly readable. Edo ratings are mentioned here and there, and are discussed briefly in the section on websites and databases.

    • Coulom's Whole History Ratings are based on the same principle as the Edo ratings, and were invented independently (though Coulom acknowledges that his came slightly later).

    • Dangauthier and colleagues developed Trueskill Through Time using Bayesian networks, along quite similar lines to Edo (or Whole History) Ratings.
  14. Frederic Friedel, Historical Chess Ratings - dynamically presented (ChessBase, 2016)
    • Friedel has a brief article on Edo ratings, mainly presenting the wonderful video by Cary Huang, which animates ratings over history, seamlessly melding Edo ratings for the early years, then ChessMetrics ratings, and finally FIDE ratings for the more recent years.
