Offered here is a scarce original 1892 1st edition Golf Sketches by J.F. Irwin. Very few are known to exist. Past sales records show that bookseller PBA Galleries sold one at auction in 2005 for $9,375, and the late book collector Joe Murdoch reportedly sold one for $10,000. 17 pgs. Published by Simkin, Marshall Hamilton, London, 1892. Early fiction, lovely illustrations. Very fragile and scarce item in very good condition.
