An amusing alphabet, in rhymed couplets, focusing primarily on the misadventures of novice and inept golfers, illustrated with humorous lithographic drawings and lettered captions by the author.
The nature of the binding makes this book inherently fragile and is seldom found intact; the publisher's advertisement found at the end of this volume describes a hardier format, including a buckram binding, which presumably replaced earlier copies such as this one.
Fifth edition; 4to; lithographic drawings and lettered captions by the author, first and last leaf loose, edges slightly darkened; original burlap wrappers lettered in black, coloured paper label of golfer to upper cover, covers detached (as often), edges darkened, otherwise a good copy of a fragile work.
