Flexible heavy red paper covers with gilt title and embossed vignette of racehorse and rider. No page numbers, 100 young animals were offered in the sale, Each entry is offered with breeding and a blurb (some with a rather amusing 'spin.') Numerous owners/breeders represented including N.B. Hunt, J.W. Heaton, Jack Harris, Jess Hadden, Flying M Stable, C.V. Whitney, Eldon L. Smith, and includes the sale of Mr. Thong by Roman Sandal, out of Focus Point. Corner crease and light edgewear to cover, gilt a little faded. A few page corners creased. Someone present at the sale made small ink notations on some of the entries, including 'probly lame' (sic), 'unsound?' and 'utter rubbish.' (As I said, there is some quiet salesmanship apparent in the blurbs.) A nice little piece of racing history! SPORTS 3217 First Edition Paperbound Very Good Condition 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Misc.

The first series bound in contemporary calf rubbed, hinges split and some boards detached, lacking the title page in vol 1. The balance aprt from 10 vols, bound or rebacked to give uniform appearance of full light brown calf gilt with contrasting leather labels. The non-uniform vols vary in condition from good to worn, some spines defective & one or two boards loose. In general, a remarkable run of this essential publication, seldom found in such completeness. Even single volumes prior to 1800 are of great rarity.
