The Horse: A Bibliography of British Books 1851-1976. (Signed).

London: The Library Association, 1982. 0853655332. Limited edition of 1,000 copies, this copy no.439. Contains a narrative commentary on the role of the horse in British social history, as revealed by contemporary literature. "It could almost be said that it is the most important book about horses that has ever been produced, as it summarizes not only a large proportion of all the books about horses, horsemanship and horsemastership, with the exception of racing, over the last 125 years, but also gives the background against which the books were written..The whole scene in each period is extraordinarily well analysed so that one sees clearly the varying relative importance of the different types of horse: the working horse, the carriage horse, the hunter and so on.."(Foreword by Dorian Williams). Pp.xxxiv/474, signed by the author below limited edition number. Red cloth, gilt title to spine. VG.
