Reminiscences of Golf.
Edinburgh, Scotland: David Douglas, 1887. 68p. red wrappers, black text. Cornerstone title. Rare title, providing firsthand accounts of the Old course and St. Andrews, thus important to historians of early golf.. Balfour would become a cabinet minister.
Book is renowned for its fragile construction, this copy having just one crease to the front wrapper (lower right as per photograph) and the normally non existent red paper spine still intact, two pieces of tape keep the book firm and protect from any further problems. Overall as good a copy as could be hoped for. Part of the Percy Boomer golf library. Very good, seldom seen better, protected in a home made brown wrapper, this has kept the book very clean, no markings or inscriptions, we have never handled a better copy. Item #10491
D&J B2890.
