American Sports Publishing Co, 1915. Softcover. Very Good. Collectible first edition, second printing of P. A. (Percy Augustus) Vaile's early-century primer on golf. Number 2P of the green cover series. 1915 date to copyright page. Note that later printings - 1922, e.g. - are often misidentified as first printings when in fact they are third or later printings. The content in this copy, the second printing, is identical to the 1914 LOC control copy with the exception of the latter's 1914 date to the copyright page. Also note that Joseph Murdoch's The Library of Golf asserts that the 1922 printing was the first, which of course is in error. 41 numbered pages, 36 numbered plates (action golf swing photos) and 11 unnumbered Spalding catalog pages packed with illustrated golf balls, golf clubs and associated priced golf equipment. Chapter headings include Putting, Playing a Stymie, Prevalent Misconceptions About Golf, The Mashie, The Iron, The Cleek, The Driver and Brassie, Golf Ball Facts…

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
