History Sport & Recreation Australiana
Australian Horse Racing and Punter's Guide by Rem Plante is a 1974 illustrated hardcover that blends sports history, Australian culture and horse‑racing insight for both young adults and adult readers. This non‑fiction title sits comfortably in the Animals & Pets, Sports and History sections, offering a vivid look at the world of Australian horse racing.
The book is in solid condition with a tight binding and clean pages, free of dog‑ears. The cover shows a minor corner bump and a few interior pages have a slight bump to the top edge and one small scuff, all of which are clearly noted.
The front inner cover carries an inscription, which is reflected in the condition description rather than presented as a signature. It comes from a smoke‑free home, adding to its overall tidy presentation.
Collectors and fans of horse‑racing literature will appreciate this vintage guide’s detailed illustrations and thorough coverage of the sport’s history in Australia. It makes a great addition to any sports, biography or antique book collection.
