[Falls, D.W.C.]

An A. B.C. of Golf, by a Victim

New York: The Blanchard Press, 1898 A most amusing alphabet, in rhymed couplets, mostly focusing onthe misadventures of neophyte (or simply inept) golfers; printed on gray stapled coated stock with an inherently fragile burlap cover, this is a book almost doomed to self-distruct; the publisher's advertisement herein describes a hardier format, including a buckram binding, which presumably replaced earlier copies such as this one (GOLF) Fifth Edition. 11 x 8-1/4 inches. Illustrated throughout with humorous lithographic drawings and lettered captions by the author. Original lettered burlap wrappers, multcolored paper label of a golfer on upper cover, cover edges slightly frayed, first and last few pages loose, two with slight chips, but overall an attractive copy of a fragile work.
