Arnold Palmer's

1964 Masters Tournament Scrapbook

         Arnold Palmer famously won the 1964 Masters Tournament. Afterwards, Palmer produced a very limited number of books titled "Arnold Palmer's Scrapbook", which is a 40 page book chronicling Palmer and his '64 Masters victory. This very rare and remarkable scrapbook is filled with photographs, articles, scorecards, newspaper sources, humorous portrait drawings of past champions, and a map of Augusta National Golf Club at the end.

        The scrapbook is huge - it measures 17x14, original padded green leather, stamped and lettered in gilt. Limited First Edition. One of only a select number of copies issued in a special presentation binding. This book was presented by Arnold Palmer to Jim Murray - the late sportswriter at the Los Angeles Times.
