New Castle, DE : Oak Knoll Press ; Winchester, Hampshire, 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. At the close of a full career in marketing and social psychology, Drazin retired to Hertfordshire, England and took up croquet. At some point he realized that though quite a bit of literature existed about the game, many items are very scarce and ill-documented. So he set about to identify and describe in detail all known specialist books and pamphlets. He found 403 titles, 493 subsequent editions and variants, and 158 patents. Most are in English but a few in other European and Asian languages. For each he includes the formula, technical notes, contents, binding, copy seen, fingerprint, and notes. He indexes titles, authors and other contributors, and publishers and printers; a subject index would be redundant. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 508 pages; Description:… Read More

Oak Knoll Press; St Pauls Bibliographies, 2000 8vo (24 cm), XX, 508 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. From the blurb: The literature of croquet has long been of interest to scholars and collectors. This work attempts to document all the books and pamphlets devoted to the game from its early beginnings to the end of 1997. It is intended that a future volume will catalogue the periodical literature, other books and pamphlets, both of fiction and non-fiction, which refer to the game, and contributions to other media. The present volume is divided into four parts. Part A records books and pamphlets about croquet whose existence has been verified or can safely be assumed, Part B records patents of inventions relating to the game, Part C lists other books and pamphlets not seen by the compiler whose existence is supported by good evidence, and Part D lists other patents related to the game not seen by the compiler. The subject works recorded in Part A receive full bibliographical descriptions… Read More
