Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine, Not Price Clipped. Gina (illustrator). First Edition. Illustrated. 192 pages. One of the more interesting accounts of someone else's weekly golf games, an eye-opener for American's who play for their scores as opposed to victory in matches. From the dust jacket: "Come rain or shine throughout the year on Saturday and Sunday the week-end golfer's hopes spring eternal. This week-end it will be different! This time the clubhead will connect with a sweet click and that long soaring flight worthy of Jack Nicklaus will unerringly find the heart of the green. Within a few minutes of the first tee reality has struck again: the agonised tussles with hook and slice, with raked sand and wiry rough have deflated the most invulnerable optimism. Close friends become arch rivals, fighting it out to the last nervous putt on the 18th green. Why does one go on playing? This is Peter Gresswell's account of a year of such golf, locked in battle with his principal opponent P, striving for the reward of those glistening new balls at the end of the day, the handsome volume that concedes victory at the end of the year. A blend of the light-hearted and the serious, this is the essence of golf." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

About the book >.>.> Town dwellers as we mostly are, British people have none the less always had a hankering for "a house in the country". That has been the basic consideration behind the writing of this book. Peter Gresswell is keenly concerned with the preservation of the amenities of an Island where the country itself shrinks year by year as it is devoured by increasing urban expansion. Still, he knows that buildings can and should be an adornment to the landscape and he here shows how this happy result can be achieved to the benefit not least of house-owners themselves. Primarily, however, the book is the practical work to be expected from an author professionally involved in housing matters. It answers such questions as: How do I find a good architect? What are the drawbacks and advantages of group housing schemes? What are the relative virtues of custom-made and speculatively built houses? What lessons, especially in terms of landscaping and orderliness, can be learned from continental practice? What c.
