Seller's Description:
Very Good. Very Good Dust Jacket. Size: 10x10x0; This book with dust jacket is clean, solid and in great shape! This is an oversized hardcover book with 191 pages including lots of awesome photos. The binding is strong with all pages firmly attached. The pages are clean with no soiling, writing, or tears. The copyright page states 1975 Second Printing. This is definitely Not a former library book. The dust jacket shows just a hint of edgewear and there is a short (one-inch) closed tear on the top of the front (No Chips). I have placed the DJ in a fresh mylar jacket and this book looks and feels great! We always ship in a sturdy cardboard box!
Best book out on the great horse. Full coverage of Secretariat's career, offspring, charts of all his races, training schedule, lots of extras. Complete photo coverage as well as full and good text.
