Valuable Book Group produces a monthly newsletter covering the rare and antiquarian golf book market. In particular, we provide book reviews for golf books that in some instances are 100 years old. Our philosophy is that a book doesn't have to be new to be interesting or insightful.
We provide these newsletters because we love the history of the game and we enjoy sharing our knowledge. We also do it because buying and collecting golf books has gotten fairly complex. With all the limited editions, signed copies, and special editions issued it is hard to keep track of. There is nothing more frustrating than buying a book and then later finding out it wasn't the edition you wanted.
We find that reviewing books provides useful information for the serious collector. Click on the topics below to access the PDF file with the full newsletter. Contact us if you would like to be added to our mailing list for distribution of the newsletter or to receive a catalog.
If you prefer, you can now access our newsletter through our blog, which has search capabilities.
