Octavo, hardcover, good reading copy of ex army library book with stamps on endpapers, in rubbed yellow pictorial boards. 256 deckled pages. 3rd printing. black & white illustrations in text; pictorial eps depicting a horse race, ''Told in the vernacular of the track are stories of smart men and smart alecks, racing tycoons and racing touts, the small bettor and the heavy plunger -- all of whom have one thing in common -- they are horse crazy.'' The author states, ''I shall be very glad if this book of mine through the light that it may incidentally shed on various race track practices and betting problems will influence people, here and there, to bet more circumspectly, with care and control, for the more actual sport that there is in horse racing that way.''.

Store description

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!…
