About this title

From the Publisher:

Seabiscuit: The Saga of a Great Champion is presented in its original oversize trim and features 23 period photographs--some not found anywhere else, and many full-bleed--and 17 specially commissioned drawings by noted illustrator Howard Brodie. Brodie's drawings of trainer Tom Smith capture his enigmatic character better than any photograph. The book also contains a full color painting of Seabiscuit. This edition, the first commercially available since the book was published in 1940, will allow the reader to experience the exhilarating story of Seabiscuit at the moment when the horse and his caretakers were in the hearts of Americans across the country.
