WESTWOOD COUNTRY CLUB 1908-2008: A CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Descripción

Book is Brand New except owner's discreet bookplate on inside cover, NO other marks. Oblong Quarto with color photo mounted on navy and gold hard covers, no dust jacket as issued. This is fascinating as a history of the wealthiest and most distinguished Jews in St. Louis and how, beginning in 1907 they began to create their own parallel golf club in the suburbs of St. Louis to take the place of the best clubs from which they were 'restricted'. This lavishly illustrated QUARTO oblong on glossy page stock was quite expensive and produced in a very small quantity for members. I have NEVER seen a copy for sale and I live here and specialize in such material. Every hole of their outstanding golf course is photographed in color, mapped and commented upon lovingly by those who have played them hundreds of times. I particularly enjoy the early photos and the detailed text. I can find only TWO copies in ANY libraries in the world and NONE for sale at ANY of the 26 book search engines in the world. 256 pages in all - a quite substantial volume with great interest for those interested in golf, judaica and St. Louis History.
