Golf Journal

Rating:
Summary: Quality Journal for People who Love Books
Review: Reviewed by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of This is the Place and Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered

Isn't it lovely that books aren't all alike? I find it just as exquisite that there are publishers still around that make books that look and feel gorgeous, that know that people who love books generally love journals with secret hide-away spots, and tabs and photography that induce yearning.

Ryland, Peters & Small is one of those publishers. Do a search on Amazon and find their titles. One of my favorites is Golf Journal, a beautifully put-together book with an old fashioned linen spine, a sporty elastic band to hold it closed (one that, handily, won't get lost!) and, luxuriously heavy paper, secret pockets and-well, you'll just have to see it to believe it.

It includes sections by Mark Rowlinson on Golf Course Design, Top 50 Golf Resorts, Golf Off the Beaten Track, and 18 Great Golf Holes in addition to scorecards for recording "memorable rounds of golf" and handicap records. It is handsome-to have and to hold or to give as a gift.

(Carolyn Howard-Johnson's first novel, This is the Place, has won eight awards. Harkening, a collection of stories, has won three.)
