Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. GRAVES, Charles [194] pp. Coward-McCann 1964 First American Edition 10" x 8" Truly a guide, it describes 60 clubsarchitecture, interior decoration, the costs of entrance fees and annual dues, the quality of food and wine. If that were all, "Leather Armchairs" would not merit the attention of American readers. But Charles Graves, a younger brother of the poet and novelist, Robert Graves, is a connoisseur of clubs, a raconteur who loves a good story about the eccentric aristocrats whose follies have brightened most London clubs, and a clubman many times over, whose social assumptions about clubs and society seem to have been formed about 1910 and to have remained unchanged.
