A fascinating
book that tells of the social history, the main characters, the bold gamblers,
scandals and wild excesses of the Edwardian racing scene including the
glittering prizes such as those on offer at Epsom, Goodwood and Royal Ascot to
name a few
This is a first
edition published by Andre Deutcsh in London in 1985 - it is a 176 page
hardback, green cloth cover with gilded lettering on the spine complete with
dustjacket measuring 10.25" (26cm) x 8" (20cm) x 3/4" (2cm) ISBN

There is a
written dedication inside the front cover but otherwise the book itself is in
very good condition with a good binding and no stains or age related
discolouration – as you can see from the photos, the dustjacket has a protective
cover, has been price-clipped and is also in good condition
A really
interesting book and a great read for the turf and social history enthusiast,
it will make a fine addition to any racing library
