Item description from seller

I am pleased to offer: "Handbook of the Turf- A Treasury of Information for Horsemen" by Samuel L. Boardman. The subtitle goes on: "Embracing a compendium of all racing and trotting rules; Laws of the States in their relation to horses and racing; a Glossary of scientific terms; the Catch-Words and Phrases used by Great Drivers, with Miscellaneous Information about Horses, Tracks, and Racing." This small hard cover book is bound in finely ribbed brown cloth with decorative blind-stamping on the cover and gilt titles on the spine. The book opens with a short Introduction, followed by an alphabetized compendium of terms and definitions related to horses and horse-racing. There are 303 pages in all of these definitions, followed by 20 pages of publisher's adverts for its many books in the agriculture sector. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are lightly bumped at the corners and spine tips and there are some stains to the finish on the rear board. There is a pin-hole on the rear board and two small indentations. Inside, a former owner has left her stamped name on the first blank page but that is the only mark I found in the book. The interior pages are free of toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
