19651140121965. Autograph letter signed by Bobby Jones to golfing rival and friend Walter Hagen. One page typescript the letter is dated December 17 1965 and reads "Dear Walter: A little bird not to be confused with birdie whispered to me that on December 21st you are celebrating your seventy-third birthday. I very definitely want to be counted among those sending best regards and best wishes for many happy returns. I hope you will live to be a hundred because guys like you come along so seldom. I sent a message to you not long ago by young Walter. I hope he remembered to deliver it. I was much concerned about you while you were in the hospital and have been thinking of you very often since that time. My wife Mary last February had an operation similar to yours. I am happy to say her results have been most satisfactory but at least I got an education in these matters to know something of what you went through. I see nothing in all this to interfere with your enjoyment of those lakes and big pines you once told me about. Knowing you as I do I am sure you will not miss a minute of this enjoyment. My warmest regards and all best wishes. Sincerely "Bob."' In near fine condition. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. A fine association.

1966100288Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company 1966. First edition of "the most practical and useful golf book ever written covering every shot in the game and every aspect of play." Octavo original half cloth illustrated by Anthony Ravielli. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title page "For Gene Ballard With best regards Bob Jones." The recipient was a member of The Peachtree Golf Club which was designed by Bobby Jones. Bookplate of the recipient fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Introduction by Charles Price. One of the more uncommon titles to find signed and inscribed as Jones passed away in 1971. Bobby Jones left an enduring legacy of athletic prowess and exemplary personal characteristics. No one is likely to break his records of thirteen U.S. and British national championships and four in one year he won the U.S. Open a total of four times the U.S. Amateur five times the British Open three times and the British Amateur one time. The Masters seems to have a secure place in the pantheon of golf; and the name Bobby Jones will continue to represent the highest standards of amateurism sportsmanship and self-mastery" ANB.

1610001421Venetia: Antonio Pinelli 1610. Full Vellum. Very Good. 8 8 615 pp. 8vo 8.25 by 6.25 inches 21 by 16 cm. Considered one of the most significant pieces of literature from the Middle Ages and a seminal work of literature written in the French language. Also a milestone in historiography as the most important account of the first and second crusades and especially the latter for which William of Tyre was a contemporary witness. The author produced this work at the request of Almaric I in about 1170 and he continued to work on it until 1183. The work was indeed accepted as unquestioned fact for many centuries and only recently have biases been discerned owing from William's entanglement in the political disputes of the day. <br/><br/> Antonio Pinelli hardcover books

Hardcover. modest shelfwear to top and bottom edges old gift inscription non-authorial on front pastedown; jacket has some shallow chipping along top edge split halfway up from bottom along front flapfold various small nicks and closed tears. The first book by this Georgia-born author who worked at various times as a social worker library assistant clerk-typist teacher advertising copywriter and book reviewer. She was later to gain a minor reputation as a mystery novelist with six novels and dozens of short stories mostly published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and similar digest pulps to her credit. Her entry in "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers" notes the affinity and empathy she exhibited throughout her fiction to disadvantaged and socially isolated people particularly elderly women and ascribes it to her experiences as a social worker -- but from what's known of her life it seems like she could just as well have seen herself in that class as well. Critic Christopher Fowler writing in The Independent in 2014 sketched this portrait of her: "She read avidly stored books in her oven and would only eat in restaurants with linen napkins. She lived austerely took care of a sick mother travelled alone and liked teddy bears" -- also noting that she had "abandoned writing after becoming completely deaf and concentrated on charity work." This particular book which predates all her other published writing by about five years both stands apart from it and yet is all of a piece with it -- it's "unclassifiable" per the publisher's blurb "not a novel not a book of short stories. It contains 26 chapters each the autobiographical sketch of a human being as he or she tells his story is his own words to a case worker." The author provides only the briefest sociological overlay noting in a half-page introductory note that "the people in this book talk to someone called a case worker. Their confidence has been respected and they cannot be identified." Note that she all but removes herself from the equation too: although we learn from the author-bio jacket copy that the author "has been employed as a social worker since October 1939" she makes absolutely no attempt to position herself as the specific receptor for any of these narratives. The book just plunges straight ahead with its 26 tales of "love and hate and human dignity and of the anguish caused when minds and hearts and bodies go unfed." .
