Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Horse Law was first published in 1990, its original purpose was to provide a simple guide to the law for the horse owner as well as providing an initial reference book for solicitors or barristers who found themselves involved in cases concerning horses. The legal profession has changed considerably in the last 10 years; the trend is towards specialization and consequently there are a growing number of equine-law specialists. This comprehensive, updated and expanded edition is still a pertinent initial reference book for lawyers and covers a wide range of areas which can affect the horse world including: theft; buying and selling; negligence; the Animals Act 1971; rights of way for riders; keeping a horse, road traffic; protection of animals from cruelty: gaming and betting and the rules and regulations of the various equine disciplines. Horse Law does, however, remain sufficiently readable for the non-lawyer to find helpful. It is an invaluable and essential book, not only for the legal profession, but also other professionals involved in, or connected with horses whether students, instructors, veterinary surgeons, transporters or farriers. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Edward Storey's topographical books on the fens have been imbued with a strong personal feeling for the area, but in this volume he writes an autobiographical account of how the place and the people influenced him. The book tells the story of a boy growing up during the 1930s and 1940s in the small fenland town of Whittlesey - a town that was then balanced precariously between agriculture and the brick industry. It is an intimate portrait of working-class life, where poverty and pride, religion and politics, were as deeply felt as love or, indeed, hate. The author has an unerring awareness of history and sets his story against the events of the past as well as the present. The values and traditions he learned from his grandparents, the early memories of his father's years in the brickyards, and his own efforts to find a wholly different way of life for himself, make this both a valuable social documentary and a sensitive evocation of a world that largely disappeared after World War II. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Pilgrim, Anne (illustrator). Not Quite a Horsewoman has, since its publication in 1982, delighted thousands of aspirant riders and horse owners. Now in its third edition and embellished with even more delightful cartoons by Anne Pilgrim, it will entertain a new generation of horse lovers as Caroline Akrill reveals the frequent disasters and the occasional triumphs of her long association with a string of equine characters. Ambitions and aspirations fall by the wayside as she tells the story of her leading rein pony, the saga of her show hack and the tale of her season as a hunting columnist. She remembers her first stable yard where she was exploited by her own working pupils, her brief career as a dealer operating from a small village pub, and the agonies of professionally producing show ponies as their owners waited at the ring-side with their livery cheques still unwritten. Engagingly witty, endearingly frank, sometimes surprising, but always amusing, Caroline Akrill regards the horse from the safety of the stable door and scrutinises him with candour and affection. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This collection of some 300 quotations ranges from earliest times to the present day and spans the world. From time immortal the church has evoked every emotion known to man, from love and hate to mockery and suspicion; and Graham Jeffery, himself a country parson, draws upon a rich fund of wonderful material.

But the Reverend Martin Luther King was more hopeful: I have a dream that one day this nation wil rse up, live out the true meaning of his creed: we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
