Important golf reference, providing a rare inside view of what is considered the greatest golf library in private hands, constantly expanding. This edition has approximately 1,069 more items than the prior year's edition. Privately printed by Alastair Johnston for presentation to friends in a very small limitation each year. Alastair co-wrote with his father The Chronicles of Golf (1993), “a seminal work on the history of the game” which collectively revised “much of what was previously believed about the game’s origins” – Donovan & Jerris, p. 367.
