Scarce 1920's Bobby Jones Audubon Society Booklet

            Presented here is the scarce Bobby Jones Audubon Society book that has a cult-like following among Bobby Jones collectors. It has been described by some as "the rarest Bobby Jones book." This exceedingly rare book is undated but produced in the 1920's, and few are known to exist. Due to their extreme rarity, it is likely that very few were ever produced to begin with. It was produced by the National Association of Audubon Societies titled "Golf Clubs as Bird Sanctuaries." As you'll see in the book, Bobby Jones, along with famed sportswriter Grantland Rice, was on the Audubon Society's "Golf Club Bird Sanctuary Committee." This vintage booklet is 64 pages long.

            The last copy to sell publicly sold for over $2200 at rare book purveyor PBA Galleries in 2010.
