Title: The Architectural Side of Golf Author: Wethered, H. N[ewton] & T. Simpson Place: London Publisher: Longmans, Green Date: 1929 Description: xix, [1], 211 pp. + plates. Preface by J.C. Squire. Illustrated by the authors: 43 numbered plates, mostly course plans (22 of which are in color); plus other illustrations including engraved frontispiece with tissue-guard, wood engravings and drawings within text, head and tail-pieces. 10¼x7¾, original gilt-ruled orange full vellum, spine lettered in gilt, some pages unopened, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. One of 50 "Large Paper" copies specially bound in full orange vellum; this copy unnumbered, apparently out-of-series. First Edition. Signed by both authors, Wethered and Simpson, on the limitation page. Classic book of golf architecture with superb essays on the philosophy of golf architecture, ink sketches and color washes. According to Murdoch, it is "a most desirable book to have in a golf library." Simpson believed that only by studying the "Old Course" at St. Andrews could one properly understand golf course design and construction. Only one other copy found in auction records consulted (including ABPC), which was the Jerry Davis copy sold at PBA Galleries in 1997. Murdoch 841; D&M 39420; D&J W10390. Lot Amendments Condition: Covers are yawning as is often the case, light shelf wear and soiling, mild darkening; occasional foxing; still near fine and beautiful copy. Rare. Item number: 190360
