Morse, which depicts a group of miniaturised men as clubs in a woman’s golf bag. McIlvaine, A27a.

Original green cloth, lettered and stamped in dark green (faint wear at extremities); original pictorial dust-jacket priced 3/6 (light soiling and a few stains, a few small tears or chips, that to head of spine panel with tiny associated loss).
