Poems on Golf
By Clark, Robert
78 pages, decorative green pebble-grain cloth. "Some of the member of the Royal Burgess Golfing Society having resolved to collect and print a few fugitive pieces in verse relating to the game of GOLF, the following Poems and Songs have been after some labour procured, and are now printed (some for the first time) for private circulation among The Subscribers whose names are appended." Only fifty-eight names appear in the List of Subscribers, so although the publication is not limited per se, the production run must have been small, perhaps as few as 100 copies. Extremely uncommon early book on golf, only six books on the subject had been published prior to 1867. Beautiful production, all page edges gilt, bevel-edged boards, gilt cover decoration of a group of long-nosed clubs. Covers in very good condition with little signs of wear, contents clean and unmarked. Two rubbed areas lower pastedown perhaps from a label removal, inner hinge professionally reinforced. Rare opportunity to obtain one of the early classics of golf literature. Covers protected in mylar. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
