1967 'Bobby Jones on The Basic Swing' Book Anthony Ravielli Correspondence To Bobby Jones
Previously unknown information and correspondence from the mind and typewriter of Bobby Jones and illustrator Anthony Ravielli in preparation for the release of his final title 'Bobby Jones On The Basic Golf Swing' book, published in 1969 by Doubleday & Co, is for bidding consideration in this lot. This was not Jones' first collaboration with the publishing company and Ferris Mack. Additional works of this professional writer-publisher partnership included many of Jones' key books including: 'Golf is My Game' - 1960 and 'Bobby Jones on Golf' - 1966. Anthony Ravielli and Jones come across in these letters as having a rather close working relationship in the back and forth, with candid and occasionally unfiltered behind the scenes opinions regarding the book and even Charley Price, Ferris Mack. The Golf Auction initially offered curated correspondence with Bobby and Doubleday for 'Bobby Jones on Golf' in our April auction for a realized price of $4,740 as a comparison lot, this being a smaller sample size.
Bobby Jones historians and fans are both eager to read Jones' and artist Anthony Ravielli's 'Bobby Jones On The Basic Golf Swing' notes and typed letters to each other prior to Jones' final book publication in 1969.
