This review is from: Golf's Greatest Moments: An Illustrated History by the Game's Finest Writers (Hardcover)
There are few things as comforting to the Northeast golfer, sitting at home in a comfortable chair with a strong fire, as a good (no, make that great) golf book.Robert Sidorsky has fashioned together some of golf's best writing on its best subjects (the game's character, it's past and present history, it's greatest venues and it's finest moments). The illustrations and photos are wonderful eye candy that accompany excellent writing by the likes of Wind, Keeler, Updike, Nash. Jenkins, and Murray. This book is genuinely enjoyable to any golfer, regardless of the degree of their addiction. I bought three, one for myself and two for gifts!

This review is from: Golf's Greatest Moments: An Illustrated History by the Game's Finest Writers (Hardcover)
Book was advertised as NEW, but this was not the case. The dust cover was scratched and all corners damaged. The corners of the book itself were also damaged. Not suitable for the gift I intended it to be.

Ordered this book. It is a beautiful table top book that did not come with the cover. I thought this was pretty major. The inside of the book is extraordinary. All golfers in my home really loved it.
