2 volumes. Vol. I: A-L; Vol. II: M-Z, plus index. Introduction Essay by Alastair J. Johnston. Illustrations from book covers, prospectus, rare texts, Bobby Jones' bookplate, etc., throughout, including endpapers. (4to) dark blue leather-backed blue cloth, stamped and lettered in gilt, all edges gilt, housed together in publisher's slipcase. No. 117 of 225 copies. First Edition, deluxe issue. Signed by Dick Donovan, Rand Jerris and Alastair Johnston on the limitation. A must for any collector of golf literature. The most comprehensive reference guide on golf literature, containing over 15,000 entries, more than three times the previous edition (Donovan & Murdoch) in 1987. Includes hundreds of previously undiscovered publications from 1566-1985, plus works published up to and including 2005. Organized in alphabetical order by author (or subject if no author) and includes an index of club histories organized by state and country. Contains annotations for certain select titles, authors or major golf figures. Sadly, this, a masterpiece, would be the final golf reference from Dick Donovan, truly a pioneer and great person in the golf collecting world. Co-contributor, Rand Jerris is the Director of the USGA Museum and Archives and holds a Ph.D. in Art and Archaeology from Princeton University.
