Rarely seen complete with Edgar’s invented “Gate” device, consisting of two smaller rubber blocks and one larger rubber device (lettered "Patent-Applied-For") with metal hinge, used to help improve a golfer’s swing. Also, the publisher’s cigar-like box containing all “Gate” parts and housing the book as well. Most copies of the book were issued with a reddish cloth binding, this being an uncommon variant blue cloth binding. Edgar, an occasionally brilliant but often erratic player who died mysteriously in 1921 at the age of 35, was the pioneer of the method of hitting the ball he referred to as 'from inside out.' The book is based on this theory, which has slowly become accepted as sound and is, today, common practice. Edgar was the hitting mentor for Tommy Armour - Murdoch 224; Donovan & Murdoch 15780.
