William T. Tilden 2d. The Art of Lawn Tennis. George H. Doran and Company, New York, 1922.
Price: US$450.00 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: This copy was placed in an archival wrap in the 1920s, so the boards are bright forest green and almost flawless. Book is warmly inscribed by Tilden, a world champion: "With every good wish, Sincerely, Wm T Tilden 2nd, Jan. 26, 1934". There is a neat period ink POS from 1922 on the title/copyright page (not the page inscribed by Tilden). Some pencil underlines from the same owner and a page of neat pencil comment on the back inside, with an article laid in (minor offset from that). Revised and Enlarged Edition. Nice book.
