Descripción

Illustrated with drawings by R. Windslow Myers, caricatures by Andres Audiffred, and photographs. 138 pages: 126 numbered pages followed by a section entitled "Queens of Churubusco", 12 unnumbered pages (photographs of elegantly dressed women from the years 1927 through 1937 who were chosen from the attendees at the annual "Black and White Ball"). There follows an additional, special 16 unnumbered pages, each perforated near the spine, all blank with the exception of the first which states: "This space is reserved for a brief annual history of golf achievements in Mexico, naming champions and outstanding details which the author will annually send to those who may keep future records." Bound in hand woven Mexican cloth, Numbered Limited Edition #545 with no limitation cited. INSCRIBED TO MR. N.E. FRAZER AND SIGNED BY HARRY WRIGHT. Small rub mark on the top corner of the ffep where perhaps a former price was erased, small stain top and bottom ffep from pastedown offset, that also affecting a few early pages. Otherwise an excellent copy with no loss to the beautifully woven and equally as colorful Mexican woven cloth covers or edges, nor to the decorative paper title label which is 100% intact. A collector condition copy of the first written history of golf in Mexico. Covers protected by clear mylar. The SUPPLEMENT circa 1940 has 8 pages, numbered 149 -156, illustrated with photographs, without covers or binding as issued, meant to be tipped directly into the hardbound book. The supplement contains a full-page photo of Bobby Jones. This supplement is apparently so scarce that it has escaped the attention of the three famous golf bibliographers, Joe Murdoch, Dick Donovan and Rand Jerris as none have included it in their books on the subject. Very Good condition. IN ADDITION, the supplement is contained in its ORIGINAL GLASSINE ENVELOPE which states: "This is a supplement to be added to "GOLF IN MEXICO", the book which it was our pleasure to mail to you last Christmas. We suggest that you immediately paste it in the back of the book so that it will not be lost. We take this method of again greeting you on the happy occasion of Christmas and New Year's. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wright December 1940". Good Plus condition. N° de ref. del artículo 200237
