"Deals with nearly 50 clubs. More than 400 specially commissioned photographs observe, with a quizzical eye, grand vistas and quaint details. The narrative is a distillation of old books, records and recollections, a virtual anthology of clubland anecdotes, garnished with engravings, cartoons and literary references, romantic and acerbic, comic and nostalgic. For those who have never stepped inside clubland's marble halls, there will be many revelations. For clubmen themselves, this is a volume to treasure." See less
