Lovely collection.

Jaime Douglas-Home, Horse Racing (Konemann, 2000) This lovely little (approximately the size of a CD case) book contains a century's worth of horse racing photographs from around the globe, culled mainly from the Hulton Getty collection and Allsport magazine, combined with commentary from Douglas-Home. The commentary is limited to a quick introduction of each decade and a sentence or two on each of the pictures, allowing the photographs themselves to take center stage. This is as it should be, as there's a great deal of breathtaking beauty in these pages. Some of the shots will surprise people; one doesn't expect to see still action shots from the early part of the century, but one will find them here. Any racing fan is likely to get a kick out of this collection. ****
