Marco. An Introduction to Polo. Sixth Edition. 1976. Book and dust jacket are both in very good minus condition—corner is bumped and there is a repaired tear to the upper spine.
The author, “Marco,” is actually a witty pseudonym for Lord Mountbatten (pun clearly intended). He wrote the entire book, and though his actual polo-playing skills were reported to be unexceptional, he understood the technique of the game brilliantly, and this has become a classic book on the sport. Includes b & w photogravure plates. Uncommon in dust jacket.
“I remember when I first started to play polo . . . Lord Mountbatten thrust a copy of his book into my hand and wrote in the front page—‘from Great Uncle Marco.’”
--H.R.H. Prince Charles of Wales
