Reviews

A carefully researched, well-written, lavishly illustrated volume that evokes a lost, fairytalelike era.--Islands

A fascinating book . . . An in-depth study into an institution that has come down through social history more in myth than in fact.--Baltimore Sun

A perfect book for the well-appointed coffee table . . . It chronicles a time when leisure was the perquisite of great wealth, when the monied elite of America sought splendid and exclusive isolation on one of Georgia's Golden Isles.--Georgia Journal

Extensive and very readable . . . A well-documented and extensively illustrated history.--Georgia Librarian

In this lavishly illustrated volume . . . 240 photographs speak eloquently of 'the richest, the most exclusive, the most inaccessible' social organization in the world.--Booklist

Professors McCash are to be commended for this intelligent, long-need study. Working from widely scattered club records, letters, and diaries, they have crafted a compelling, sometimes poignant, social history. Interspersed with dozens of beautifully evocative photographs, it is one of those rare productions possessing an appeal to scholar and layman alike.--Alabama Review

Through the rich use of architectural drawings, maps, and above all, photographs, the Jekyll Island Club history could not be more endearingly told.--Virginia Quarterly Review
