Here's an early Christmas offer for the racing-obsessed person in your life! Two years ago we began to stock a lovely book called A Short History of Richmond Racecourse and its Grandstand. It's packed with historic illustrations, amusing tales about jockeys, eccentric owners, trainers, gamblers and soldiers. It answers those eternal questions: Why is there an abandoned horse-racing track high above the town? Why is the old grandstand in ruins? With a whole host of colourful characters, the book will appeal to anyone with an interest in racing, social history, or the town of Richmond. The book was published at £10. It has handsomely covered its costs, so we can now sell it at a clearance price of just £5. With 80 pages, full-colour maps and images, it's a real bargain. Pop in and pick up a copy or - if you're outside Richmond - order it online here.
