Book Reviews

under construction

JIM!

I love your book reviews (those on the website and the vast number in The Golf).  I’d put many on this page eventually but of course begin with those currently on the website. [I’m not as jazzed about using other website book reviews (valuable as they might be-maybe as resources for Members Only- my selfishness is showing)].

I’m not sure how you would like to organize or display them.  (I took a stab at Picture box listings according to History, Courses, Golfers, Travel, Fun Reads…??
