Enjoyable Read - By: R. Kelsall, 06 Jun 2008
I reallly enjoyed this book. The author has captured the spirit of Newmarket & tells the often hidden stories behind the racing scene. It's interesting, very well written & the photography is superb.
For me, this is the very best type of book about sport - plenty of detail for those racing fans who know lots, but also much of interest for armchair enthusiasts who simply watch the odd race on the tv. It would make a great gift.
Review of Newmarket; A year at the Home of Horseracing - By: Jd Edmunds, 16 May 2008
A reallly facinating read. The book gives what feels like real depth to a hidden world.I especiallly liked the way the author has not just focused on what seems to the unititiated , as the glamourous success stories- but has tackled the grittier side as well.I guess the word I'm looking for is 'flavour'.
The book also looks great- the sort you can leave casuallly lying around on the coffee table for guests to pick up & put down knowing they will have been engrossed-as I was.
