The Golf Courses of the British Isles
Duckworth & Co., 1910.
First edition, first issue binding, with the illustrator's name misspelled "Rowntree" on the upper board, of dark green cloth with lettering in gilt and borders and decoration outlined in gilt. 8vo. Top edge gilt and others untrimmed. Bookseller's stamp to front pastedown. Sixty-four full page plates by Harry Rountree. The illustrations are a mixture of watercolours and black and white images. A near fine, bright copy, slightly cocked with occasional light foxing.
Peter Alliss and Barry Took, introducing a new edition of the book in 1989, wrote "this book, first published in 1910, was the first comprehensive hole-by-hole description of a wide selection of golf courses in Great Britain and Ireland, many of which, matured and revered today, were then just emerging from their native marsh and scrub."
