Golf: Pleasures of Life Series
London: Burke, 1954. 222p, cloth. Published for the Pleasures of Life Series. D&J D5170. More
Books by Bernard 'Bernardo' Darwin are some of the most readable and entertaining in the whole golf library, some are very rare and expensive but a great collection of his work can be put together on a limited budget. At fine golf books we always try to find any book by Bernardo, even if the subject is not golf related as we beleive that he was one of the great writers of the 20th century.
