The Gentlemen's Clubs of London (Book)

About the Item

This book takes a fascinating look into nearly 50 clubs in London and with more than 400 specially commissioned photographs shows a way of life that still plays a part in the daily lives and routines of the members. "The narrative is a distillation of old books, records and recollections, a virtual anthology of clubland anecdotes, garnished with engravings, cartoons and literary references, romantic and acerbic, comic and nostalgic". An interesting read for those on the outside and a volume to treasure for any clubman.
