Reseña del editor:

Chronicles the life and career of championship golfer Bobby Jones, who won thirteen major golf championships before retiring from the game at age 28

Contraportada:

Bob Jones was arguably the most dominant golfer of all time. He won 13 major championships in all, including all four majors in 1930, perhaps the one feat in all of sport that will never be duplicated. Incredibly, he was an amateur who played only sparingly and retired at the age of 28. Through his exploits and deeds, he captured the imagination of people - golfers and non-golfers alike - on both sides of the Atlantic. But Bob Jones was more than just a golfer, for his accomplishments and pursuits in the other facets of his life rivaled those on the links - his high level of educational achievement, his cultural interests and his sense of modesty and fair play. In words and pictures, The Greatest of Them All tells the story of Bob Jones. We are indeed fortunate to utilize the talents of some of the finest writers on the scene today - Alistair Cooke, the esteemed author and commentator, Dave Anderson, the Pulitzer Prize winning columnist for The New York Times, Ben Crenshaw, the two-time Masters winner and golf historian, Peter Dobereiner, the dean of the British golf writers, Nick Seitz, the long-time editorial director for Golf Digest and Larry Dorman, the fine golf writer for The New York Times. Most of the black-and-white photos in The Greatest of Them All are 70 years old or more. Each has been carefully selected out of approximately 10,000 viewed and then color separated so as to bring out an added dimension and richness. Finally, the book was printed in six colors on some of the finest papers available by one of the world's foremost printers.
