Paperback. Etat : Very Good. It is only in the last thirty years that golfing memorabilia has become seriously collectable. There have always been afficianados who have purchased golfing items but since the early 1980s the market for golfing items has changed out of all recognition. Before then there had been little that was produced solely for the collectors' market. Everything had a purpose, whether it was a ticket to the Masters, a mashie niblick, Tom Morris feathery ball, a guide to a particular course, and advertising figurine, a championship medal or even a postcard of a famous player. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Philip Wilson Publishers, Ltd., London, 2003, 278 pp. Illustrated throughout from various old sources and from photographs (some are in full-color). This book is about the golf ball and how it has affected the game, especially club development and the rules. From the feather ball era in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the gutty ball era of the 1850s to the rubber-cored (modern) ball era this book literally takes you "inside" the ball with fascinating details of all aspects of the golf ball. It covers the development of rules pertaining to weight and size--details that were contested in America and Britain for nearly 50 years, and how ball makers sought to make the ball travel further, move straighter and stand up to the most punishing strokes. Outstanding illustrations. Oblong dark green half morocco and cloth, gilt vignette on front, spine lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, publisher's slipcase with pictorial label.
