Title page missing, library binding, 84p 6th rev. none the less a very unusual title. Preface dated 1897 Donovan and Jerris mention a 6th edition but not dated. Contents good, D&J F11950.

Third edition of the first golfing bestseller; this copy with an appealing golfing association. Forgan, son of the famous clubmaker, first published his "lively compilation of instruction and historical information" at Cupar in 1881 (Donovan & Murdoch); by 1897 the title had changed to The Golfer's Manual. "This book, somewhat like [Farnie's] The Golfer's Manual (1857) in style but considerably more comprehensive in content, includes instruction, history, outstanding golf feats and other golfiana, such as a reprint of a magazine article by Horace G. Hutchinson and a ballade by Andrew Lang. It also includes 'Rules', the local rules for the Old Course at St. Andrews, a 'Glossary of Technical Terms' and a list of 'Clubs in Great Britain,' which included, at this early date, six in Ireland" (Murdoch). It puffs itself jauntily on the front cover: "Acknowledged by the Press and Crack Golfers the best Book of the kind Published" Provenance: W. L. Fox of Carmino House, Falmouth, with his ownership inscription on the front free endpaper. A solicitor and keen golfer, Fox was a member of the West Cornwall and Royal Cornwall golf clubs; his inscription is dated November 1889, the year the West Cornwall was founded. In the same year he took the President's Gold medal at the Royal Cornwall. The golfing notes on the rear blanks and pastedown are probably his. Donovan & Murdoch 1240. Joseph S. F. Murdoch, The Library of Golf, 1968. Octavo. Frontispiece and illustrations throughout. Original cloth-backed pictorial boards, wire-stitched as issued. A little wear at spine ends, covers peripherally toned, rust marks from staples, scattered foxing, yet this remains a very good copy of a fragile book.…

70 pp. Frontispiece drawing, and others within. 18x12.2 cm. (7¼x4¾") cloth-backed pictorial boards. Third Edition. The first golf book to be successful in sales. Forgan founded a famous club-making firm in St Andrews and his old shop is still open as a museum for visitors. Murdoch states: "This book, somewhat like [Farnie's] The Golfer's Manual (1857) in style but considerably more comprehensive in content, includes instruction, history, outstanding golf feats and other golfiana, such as a reprint of a magazine article by Horace G. Hutchinson and a ballade by Andrew Lang. It also includes 'Rules', the local rules for the Old Course at St. Andrews, a 'Glossary of Technical Terms' and a list of 'Clubs in Great Britain,' which included, at this early date, six in Ireland." First published in 1881 by John Innes, Cupar, Scotland, the book went into numerous reprintings, and by 1897 the title had changed to The Golfer's Manual and contained photographic illustrations. Murdoch 260; D&J F11770. Worn boards, contents good, spine has had small restoration, still good copy of a scarce title.…
