This book has been called one of golf book collecting's most prized possessions. As far as modern (post-1900) books go, there is arguably no finer book than the offered example. 

Offered here is the famous twice-signed limited edition of Bobby Jones' autobiography Down the Fairway. Only 300 of these books were produced in 1927, this being book #224. Inside this book are two of the finest autographs of Bobby Jones that you will encounter. That's right, Bobby Jones signed the inside of this book TWICE! Also signed by his co-author OB Keeler. Though we tend to be very tough on autographs, both Bobby Jones autographs are exceptional. Jones' autograph changed a great deal over the years, but two 1927 full-name autographs is as good as it gets.
