There are lots of books on golf collectibles out there. However, Antique Golf Collectibles newly released from Collector Books is one of the best organized and delivered of them all. The wide coverage includes clubs, balls, ceramics, metal wares, and all sorts of (paper) ephemera. "Golf is older than soccer, tennis, and the modern Olympics," notes author Pete Georgiady. "It is still a relatively quite pastime. It's not overcrowded and the items are not overpriced."

YA-A combined history and a price guide for collectors of the discs and related memorabilia. The early chapters cover flying-disc objects and quoits, skittles, chak rams, hoops, and the discus itself. However, the bulk of the book is devoted to the modern-day frisbee with emphasis on the development of the tins produced by the Frisbie Pie Bakery in Connecticut. There is a chapter on early games and their development into modern pastimes. Black-and-white photos and sketches show the techniques and use of the discs. The price guide is comprised of over 50 colored plates, with an individual chapter on collecting the historical Frisbie pie pan itself. This book has a wealth of minutia on the continuously popular throwable. Frances Reiher, Fairfax County Public Library, VA Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. |
