What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the very scarce original unclipped dust wrapper.
Bookplate of Richard Green to the front free end paper.
An intriguing description of the racing world between the First and Second World Wars, with details on professional betting, as well as the daily lives of trainers and jockeys. This work was written by Captain Eric Rickman, with an introduction by the Earl of Derby. Illustrated throughout.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is smart, with a little bumping to the corners. Very light shelf wear to the joints. Spine is slightly cocked. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Dust wrapper remains bright, with chipping to the head and tail of the spine and to the folds of wraps.
Very Good
