The Gone With The Wind of Private Club books
This book is better reading than Gone With The Wind; funnier than the original script for Blazing Saddles; and more insightful than a Stephen Hawking book. The photograph on page 160 shows just what it will take to be a great private club leader. Everyone should read it for two reasons: the book is great and Mr. Ogive must certainly need the moeny.

A must read if you work in the industry
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. What a great satire on the club industry and as someone who has worked 22 years in the business it rings so true. Well done!

Sheer genius...contains a penetrating insight into the human folly!
"When and as private clubs begin to see themselves clearly and honestly through the `parody lens' of this wonderful book, they will REALLY begin to address operational and governance issues head-on. If you love private clubs and have a sense of humor, you just have to read this book!"

Product Description
Private Clubs in America and around the World is a VERY funny and perceptive look into the unique world of private clubs. Private clubs are inextricably woven into the very fabric of America's history, traditions, and culture- and for that matter, the histories, traditions, and cultures of ALL free societies around the world. Members, employees, and guests alike will enjoy the author's penetrating insights, off-beat humor, blatant irreverence, and sarcastic wit. The author's obvious extensive knowledge of and deep affection for the world of private clubs permeate all nine chapters and deal with topics ranging from Boards of Directors to committees, employees to members. Be prepared to laugh your socks off at this must-read.
Clive Endive Ogive IV belongs to at least 17 exclusive private clubs-certainly all the ones that matter. The fact that he has a Roman numeral IV after his name and is exclusive heir to a trust fund with annual interest sufficient to pay all his annual club dues in perpetuity-and also somehow manages to write all this money off on his taxes as "legitimate business deductions"-is more than enough to qualify him to author this groundbreaking and aweinspiring book.
