About This Item
Signed. Near Fine / no jacket. The Koon Kreek Klub is one of the oldest and most exclusive hunting and fishing clubs that almost nobody has ever heard of. Founded in 1902, south of Athens, Texas, by Dallas businessmen. The provocative name is the result of it being located on Koon Kreek in Henderson Co. You can't buy your way in. This is old Dallas and Texas money. I heard there's a 40 year waiting list. In the 1990's, when George W Bush was Governor of Texas, it was said that he was a member. The name of the club raised some eyebrows, so it was changed to the Coon Creek Club around 1997. It's still pretty rustic; just hunting and fishing, no golf. Book is in fine condition with only 2 very small scuffs on the back cover and a slightly bumped spine on the bottom. Privately published by the club without an ISBN. Inscribed and signed by the author on the title page.
Bonus: Coon Creek Club gimme cap from the 2004 Fish Fiesta (included with purchase).

About mark mcdonald
Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .
