After Murdoch hard to find reference book, an updated bibliography of golf litterature in English language.
1985 / ---- - John M. Olman & Morton W. Olman. - The Encyclopedia of Golf Collectibles. - Books Americana Inc.
A classical book. Major part dedicated to balls and clubs. A well documented chapter on prints and engravings. A listing of artists and their works is given. Other aspects shortly presented.
1911 / 1980 - Harry B. Wood. - Golfing Curious and "The Like". - Pride Publications, reéd.
Certainly the very first book on golf collection. The first edition is now highly collected ! Hopefully, one can find a good reprint by Pride Publications (The Scolar Press).
