1933 'Hints on Play with Steel Shafts' by Henry Cotton
Illustrated 40 page staple-bound how to manual, written at the pivotal time when players were transitioning from hickory shafts to steel shafts. Cotton was well equipped to write this being an early proponent of steel although having learned the game with hickory. Bound in blue-green wrappers, with blue titling, and 28 illustrations. Photographs are mainly black and white. Several pages of advertisement including double page colored centerfold of seven clubs made by British Steel Golf Shafts. Three pages advertisements for the True Temper Steel Golf Shafts at rear, and one page advertisement for Apollo Steel Shafts (also made by British Steel Golf Shafts Ltd). Henry Cotton writes, "I discovered that they (Steel Shafts) possessed many virtues which hickory shafts never possessed".
