Dawson Taylor's 'The Masters...' Manuscript Presentation to Cliff Roberts - Unique
Author Dawson Taylor handwrote on the front page of this early in production manuscript proposal "Inscribed with much pleasure this was the presentation to Cliff Roberts at Augusta National to get permission to write The Masters books! - Dawson Taylor. The finished product would be a publication found in most golf libraries with the green jacket designed hardcover and title "The Masters - Profile of a Tournament." This was the final/short version of Taylor's original (fairly lengthy) title "The Masters: All About its History, Its Records, Its Players, Its Remarkable Course and Even More Remarkable Tournament." Photography for the book was done by the Club's Frank Christian. After numerous pages of type in the yellow folder starting with the chapter appropriately titled "The Beginning" is a hand-drawn layout by Dawson Taylor including what he wrote would include "Robert T. Jones' Commentary on how to play the hole."
