During a brief search, I found some older threads by fans and collectors of club books but none that are solely devoted to helping members or committees as they begin to undertake this large and important work. Since Golf Club Atlas has perhaps the largest collection of brain power in golf architecture and golf history, I can't think of a better group to advise potential writers (like me) on lessons learned and things you wish you would have known at the beginning of a book project. Many clubs are also turning 100yrs. this decade so my hope is that this thread can also be a valuable resource to those organizations that are thinking about producing a centennial book. In my personal library, I am fortunate to have great examples well-done books (such as NGLA), and underwhelming ones too (i.e. Pine Valley), but the large majority of clubs don't have that level of history, collection of archives, and/or budget. So if you have helped to produce a club book, what advice would you give regarding length, budget, timetable, publishing company, quantity ordered, etc.? What else did you find helpful as you went through the process? Was the book well-received or did it just appeal to a select group of members? Finally, any words of wisdom (or humor) would be greatly appreciated.
