Art, Design & Photography Biography & Memoir Sport & Recreation
Bunker Spreckels: Surfing’s Divine Prince of Decadence, the Taschen hardcover by renowned surf photographer Art Brewer, captures the gilded, short life of Clark Gable’s stepson who became Hawaiian royalty on a board. This 215-page illustrated biography pairs Brewer’s rare negatives with candid interviews, documenting the 1970s surf scene from Sunset Beach to the birth of the shortboard revolution.
Collector-grade and still in very good condition, this copy arrives with its original dust jacket—some shelf scuffs but no tears or inscriptions—crisp pages, and no smoke or library marks. The oversized format lets Brewer’s images breathe, making the book as much a photography monograph as a sports biography.
Perfect for surf culture buffs, photography lovers, and anyone hunting modern collectibles, this Art Brewer title delivers sun-bleached nostalgia without the usual beach-book clichés. Secure packaging keeps every corner intact on its way to your shelf.
