100p. Soft wrappers cover. Four folios, two years, ONE ultimate reference work! The definitive book on Antique Golf Balls, The Story of the Golf Ball as recognised by collectors, auction houses and the most prestigious Golf Clubs around the world was published in 2004. Since then, author Kevin McGimpsey has been asked to value countless Golf Ball Collections and individual lots as both an independent golf antiquities consultant and representing Bonhams 1793 auction house. The original book was always the starting point for the necessary research, but since its publication almost twenty years ago the golf antiquities market has evolved and previously unknown antique golf balls have been identified. The need for an updated reference point has driven Kevin to research and write: The Collectible Golf Balls Directory 1845-1945 (available mid-December 2021) The Directory will be released over a 2 year period between 2021-2023. To be published in four Folios, spanning the period 1845-1945: Folio 1: Gutta-Percha Golf Balls 1845-1903 (over 600 balls listed and examined, 400 plus illustrations and each ball valued) Folio 2: Rubber Cored Golf Balls 1898-1919 Folio 3: Rubber Cored Golf Balls 1920-1945 Folio 4: 1845-1945 includes a gallery of feather balls, an index for the Quartet, updates and amends, old adverts and photos etc And there will be a fine slip case on offer to hold all 4 books.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Philip Wilson Publishers, Ltd., London, 2003, 278 pp. Illustrated throughout from various old sources and from photographs (some are in full-color). This book is about the golf ball and how it has affected the game, especially club development and the rules. From the feather ball era in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the gutty ball era of the 1850s to the rubber-cored (modern) ball era this book literally takes you "inside" the ball with fascinating details of all aspects of the golf ball. It covers the development of rules pertaining to weight and size--details that were contested in America and Britain for nearly 50 years, and how ball makers sought to make the ball travel further, move straighter and stand up to the most punishing strokes. Outstanding illustrations. Oblong dark green half morocco and cloth, gilt vignette on front, spine lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, publisher's slipcase with pictorial label. SIGNED by author. No. 193 of 125 hand-numbered copies of the Green "Special Deluxe Edition" (numbered 51-100; 151-200 & 226-250). Two other deluxe limited editions and a trade edition were also issued. I will be adding books to my Golf List weekly. Signed by Author.
