Illustrated Wraps. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Very Good. See scans and description. New York: Leslie-Judge Co., 1923. First Edition. November 24, 1923, Vol. 85, No. 2195. Quarto, illustrated wraps, 32 pp. The titillating cover, "Turkey, With Very Little Dressing", is by renowned pin-up artist Enoch Bolles. Iinterior illustrations in color and b&w by a variety of noted, and less-noted, artists, some of whom are Ralph Barton; Clive Weed; Charles Baskerville; James Montgomery Flagg; Gilbert Wilkinson; Angus MacDonnall. A large number of others. Remarkable condition for a Judge issue from the 20's. Front cover soil (see scan), rust starting at staples, just a bit of the usually more pronouced age-toning to the paper. Rear cover bears subscriber's address at lower right corner. See scans. A strong Very Good or better. Sturdy. The "Thanksgiving" number of this famous and long-lived weekly magazine of humor & satire, which by this time was very Art-Deco in its illustrations; plenty of flapper-ism, too. Thanksgiving theme is suggested by the cover (see scan) featuring a fetching young lady snitching a nibble from the fridge, as well as by much of the interior humor, but Judge editors (at the time of this issue, Douglas H. Cooke, Eliot Keen, J.A. Waldron, William Morris Houghton, and William Edgar Fisher) were never much for limiting themselves entirely to the theme. Jokes, cartoons and satire abound, interestingly unencumbered by current forms of political correctness. Some of the artwork is really quite Art Deco here, though the issue was published just one year after the exposition which truly focused that art genre and eventually gave it its name. A notable example is the full-page intro illustration "Duse" by Ralph Barton for George Jean Nathan's piece on Ibsen's 'The Lady From the Mediterranean Sea', the lead actress in that being Eleonora Duse, and the Barton illustration being a caricature in Deco of both. Remarkable. Superb piece of Americana and American humor, laced with very with-it art. A very handsomely preserved copy, which is itself something of a rarity for issues from the era. See all scans.

Cloth. Condition: Fine. Fine, Unclipped. Second Edition, Revised. Illustrated. 61 pages. This is a reissue by the grandson of the author with biographical information added. (First edition 1920, 61 p.) James Douglas Edgar was an English Professional who moved to the United States in 1917 and in 1918 accepted the position of pro at the Druid Hills Club in Atlanta. He was an enigmatic character, a player who rarely practiced, at times would not even warm-up before playing, yet frequently played brilliantly. The following quotes are taken from a Golf Magazine article February 1960. "According to Bobby Jones, Edgar prepared for the 1919 Canadian Open, which Edgar won with a score of 278 strokes, a record that stood for more than 17 years, by hitting only six practice shots (!)." THIS SCORE 0F 278 WAS A WORLD-RECORD SCORE FOR FOUR ROUNDS OF COMPETITIVE GOLF, AN INCREDIBLE SIXTEEN SHOTS SEPERATED EDGAR FROM THE SECOND PLACE FINISHERS BOBBY JONES, JAMES BARNES, AND KARL KEFFER. Edgar successfully defended his Canadian Open title in 1920, returned home to capture the Southern Open, published this The Gate to Golf instructional book, and then, this anomaly was killed. "J. Douglas Edgar, the Wizard of Druid Hills, died under mysterious circumstances in Atlanta in 1921 at the age of 35. Officially, his death was thought to have been caused by a hit-and-run driver, but there was strong reason to suspect he had been stabbed." In addition to his erratically brilliant play, "Edgar preached some of the most radical theories ever propounded about the game." Tommy Armour, who followed Edgar for five-month throughout the UK getting daily lessons, explains: "Douglas Edgar was the father---pioneer---of the present-day method of hitting the ball---called 'from the inside-out'. His book is built on that method of hitting. He is one of the many great players I took golf lessons from, but he was undoubtedly the greatest of them and taught me the most." The original as well as this issue also came in a boxed Deluxe Edition, accompanied by a rubber "gate" and other pieces, which when placed on the ground, aided in the understanding and subsequent practice of this "new" method of hitting a golf ball.
