A good copy of this celebration of the French Thoroughbred: the first section is in English; the second is the original French, but the photographs are not repeated in each section, so there is a wide selection. The dj is not price clipped, but has some triangular loss to the bottom right, and creases to the edges of both panels. The book has some grey spots to the edges of the boards, which are otherwise good. The pages are bright and clean. Illustrated throughout in black and white.
