About This Item
Brae Burn Country Club, 1947. Hardcover. Acceptable. Hardcover. Blue cloth boards, with gilt titling on front board and along spine. Gilt on spine has faded a bit. The cloth is dirty/dusty and a bit faded, with light soiling. Board edges are scraped. Wearing to cloth of corner tips and head and heel of spine. Corner tips are dented. Small sticker of previous owner on upper corner of front paste down. Clipped to the FFE is a very old, vintage photograph of two duffers pictured on the links, dated 1926. With that is a card denoting the book was gifted to club members and stating only 1,500 copies of the book were available. Pages are in nice shape, not fragile and not age-toned, but merely a manila color. Neat, nostalgic look back at a golf club known for hosting several U.S. Opens and a course on which legends have played. Full of terrific black and white photos. Non-paginated.
