Welcome! ...to our new-look golf list. For the first time
many items are now illustrated so that what might before have
been an unfamiliar title to you or, indeed, one you already
possess, you can now see what our copy looks like. And if
there's one we haven't pictured but which you'd like to see,
just ask and we'll be glad to send you a scan.
All are in their original bindings unless otherwise stated;
dust jackets, if present, are described separately.
References are to The Game of Golf and The Printed Word: 1566-1985 by Richard E. Donovan and Joseph S.F. Murdoch . We have identified items in four ways:
