1924Best.-Nr. 355490714129London: Oxford University Press 1924. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. A History of Tennis Oxford: Oxford University Press 1924. First UK Edition. In Two Volumes. Illustrated with numerous plates and a large folding chart at rear of volume II. Bound in blind-panelled navy open weave buckram titled in gilt at the spine. The definitive history of Real Tennis 'La Paume' in two volumes. Both volumes are in fine condition in the VERY RARE ORIGINAL DUST WRAPPERS. Copies in D/W are almost un-heardof and I can find no other examples on sale at this time. The D/W on Volume I is in VG condition with a couple of closed tears and some inevitable browning to the spine. It is though complete. The D/W on Volume II is in good only condition as it is missing a large piece approximately half of the back panel. The back panel has no text on it so archival restoration would not be un-duly difficult. Supposedly limited to 820 copies the actual limitation is probably much smaller as it is rumoured that 100 were pulped in 1929 and perhaps as many as 380 copies were pulped in 1932.
