No Regrets and Ermine Tales are the 6th Earl of
Carnarvon’s humourous memoirs centred around his life in racing and experiences
with a variety of characters from jockeys & bookies right through to the
great & good of high society
No Regrets is a 1976 second impression, the first edition being
published by Weidenfeld & Nicholson in London in 1976 - it is a 227 page
hardback, cream cloth cover with black & red lettering on the spine
complete with dustjacket measuring 8.75" (22m) x 5.75” (14.5cm) x 1"
(2.5cm) ISBN 0297772465
Ermine Tales is a first edition published by Weidenfeld &
Nicholson in London in 1980 - it is a 158 page hardback, burgundy cloth cover
with gold lettering on the spine complete with dustjacket measuring 8.75"
(22m) x 5.75” (14.5cm) x 7/8" (2cm) ISBN 0297777637
No Regrets has a signature on the first blank page but otherwise
both books are in excellent condition with only a faint hint of age related yellowing – as you can see from
the photos, the dustjackets are also in very good condition with just some
minor signs of shelf wear and neither of them have been price-clipped
No regrets in particular is quite a rare, valuable book that is
seldom seen in such good condition - a great read for the turf enthusiast, this
is a wonderful brace that will make a fine addition to any racing or
high-society themed library
