About This Item
Two horseracing titles from the late 1960s - early 1970s. 1. "Golden Miller" by Gregory Blaxland. Published in hardback by Constable in 1972. First Edition. 240pp. 2. "Mr Grand National - A Biography of Fred Winter" by David Hedges. Published in hardback by Pelham Books in 1969. First Edition. 175pp. SIGNED BY FRED WINTER. The Golden Miller book is in Good Plus overall condition. The binding is strong and the book stands upright with no shelf lean. The boards are clean and so are the page edge blocks. The front endpaper has been removed. The dustjacket is in Very Good condition. It is complete but has lost a little of the gilt lettering along the spine. The dustjacket is now protected by a removable see-through sleeve. The Fred Winter book has been read more than the Golden Miller one but it is still in Good Plus overall condition. The boards are a little faded but the binding is strong and there is no shelf lean. The page edge blocks show mild evidence of handling and/or age. The internal pages are clean and annotation free. The Fred Winter signature is in blue pen on the book title page. The dustjacket is complete but has tanned and gained a brown speckling colouring over the years (see scan of rear panel). The dustjacket is now protected by a removable see-through sleeve. Further scanned images are available on request. Any questions, please just ask.
