Title: The Principles of Human Automotion as applied to Golf Author: McRae, D.G. Place: No place Publisher: Date: [1945] Description: 48 pp. Illustrated with a few diagrams. 24.7x17 cm. (9¾x6¾"), original wrappers. Presentation copy inscribed on the title-page, "To Mr. Davis: With many thanks. Hoping you will find this book interesting and instructive. D.G. McRae." Quite rare - no copies listed in OCLC/WorldCat, though it does list a 1973 work by McRae with a similar title, "Human automotion as applied to golf: the secret of the perfect swing," just one copy at the Library and Archives Canada. On p. 8 there is a diagram with three small paper onlays with hand-inked emendations, apparently as issued, indicating just how small a run of the work was printed. D&J M24940. Ink signature of Walt Davis to front wrapper. Lot Amendments Condition: Soiling and edge wear to wrappers; very good. Item number: 224279
