Title: Golfing: A Handbook to the Royal and Ancient Game, with List of Clubs, Rules, &c. Also Golfing Sketches and Poems Author: Chambers, Charles E. S. Place: Edinburgh & London Publisher: W. & R. Chambers Date: 1887 Description: 134, [2] + 16 (blank) & [4] ad pp. Illustrated with 5 (of 6) lithographed plates (4 are duo-tone); plus several wood engravings throughout the text by Ranald M. Alexander. 7x4¾, original decorative light blue cloth, front cover stamped in black, spine stamped and lettered in gilt with golfing vignettes, original floral patterned endpapers. First Edition. According to Murdoch, this book is actually a lineal descendant of Robert Chambers' A Few Rambling Remarks on Golf, but the changes and enlargement of this edition were enough to merit a change in title and its own bibliographical listing. Donovan & Murdoch 820; Murdoch 118. Lot Amendments Condition: Spine faded, ends and corners bumped, scattered tiny stains; lacks the chromolithograph frontispiece portrait of Tom Morris and the front free endpaper, hinges cracking, plate facing 41 loosely laid in, occasional light foxing, bookplate; still good or better.
