The First Chapbook for Golfers
Chapbooks once were a very popular form of small publications, including bits and pieces on dozens of topics. Silverman notes that chapbooks were “[t]he forerunner[s] of today’s magazines and literary reviews.”
Woodford Press is reviving the old form.
Silverman put together a great little collection of all sorts of golf pieces. Short stories, instructional guides, architecture essays, psychological studies, and business articles fill the compilation.
The book should help keep some good golf writing from fading into the past.
