Description:
192 pp. Edited by J. A. Hammerton. Illustrated by Phil May and others. 7¼x4¾, pictorial wrappers. Reprint Edition.
Another collection of golf humor from Punch Magazine. According to Murdoch, "Punch was quick to recognize the popular appeal of golf and frequently ran stories, jokes and cartoons on the game. Viewed today, the style is very innocent..." Donovan & Murdoch 31040; Murdoch 617.
Condition:
From the U.S.G.A. library with their call-number tag taped on the lower spine, bookplate on the front inside cover and penciled numbers on the title page. Covers detached, short tears and chips to edges, some soiling, spine heavily chipped with pieces missing, lower front corner piece lacking, a few tape repairs; contents clean and intact; else fair or better - definitely worthy of restoration.
