Not excellent but good : The Vintage Era of Golf Club Collectibles: Identification & Value Guide
This books value is in a simplistic version of the Editorial quote description: "This book helps fill a . . . gap in understanding a great era of golf, 1919 to 1942..." providing a opportunity to visually see some of the unique clubs designed during this era. It's nicely done and beautifully photographed, but, that's where it stops.
The book also identifies unique designs, which is where one will acquire the best value, though the pictorial representations are not supported by any text other than the simplistic descriptions and approximate values.
Sadly, it lacks any degree of information. It appears to be more of a catalog of someone's range than a reference work. Although there is a great deal of individually identified (cataloged) clubs, there are far too many instances where it reads more like an auction bulletin, with descriptions such as "Drivers, pyratone shafts 1923 - 1942 approximate value $55.00 each" to quote a page full of images that are all too small to allow the reader to identify any of the single clubs represented on the page. This is also a problem in other areas of the book such as the grips section.
Other than the main chapter headings ("Metal Woods"; "Custom Clubs"; "Wood Heads, Steel, Pyratone, or Wood Shafted Clubs"; "Irons and Full Sets"; "Composite Materials"; "Fancy Face Woods"; "Fancy Face Putters & Irons"; "Utility Irons"; "Practice Clubs"; "Putters"; "Adjustable Clubs") the personel club listings do not appear to follow any order. The listings within each chapter do not follow any date order, and the dates are mixed from within the "era" of the titled field matter: from the 1920s straight through the 1940s. On one page the reader can find clubs represented from 1920 and 1930, where the next starts with 1940 ending with1920. It appears that the order was controlled by the descriptive designer with no concept given to the usage of the book as a reference source.
Unfortunately, if you were looking to this book as a reference to learn more about any personel clubs you'd have to look straight through every page listed in the index under the manufacturer's name as the main chapter headings are the sole order. As example: a single Spaulding wood might be in listed the "Wood Heads, Steel, Pyratone, or Wood Shafted Clubs" chapter because of the type of shaft utilized in its manufacture, whereas a distinct Spaulding wood could be listed in any one of the "Metal Woods", "Fancy Face Woods", or "Composite Materials" chapters.
In closing if one is expecting this book to compare to The Golfworks series of "The Golf Club Identification and Price Guide" they will be disappointed. If they are looking for a coffee table pictorial of a good deal of the clubs that were artificial before ones cataloged in The Golfworks price guides.
