158p + 8 pls. Lacks original slipcase but with most of original glassine jacket. One of 600 copies. Presentation from Gee to Alfred B. Maclay, November 1940. Lists many hundred titles on hunting, racing and steeplechasing, horse breeding and stud books, horsemanship, polo, big game, dogs and shooting, angling, yachting, coaching, sporting poetry and fiction, and miscellaneous. The fragile jacket is scarce in any condition. A very special association copy--Maclay was a noted book collector, equestrian, horse show official, and philanthropist. He created the Maclay Medal Cup for the National Horse Show, of which he served as longtime president, and eventually his Tallahassee house and gardens were donated to Florida as a state park. Can be sent outside the US for less than the default shipping rate. Good (pages more or less foxed throughout, else clean and sturdy).

Specializing in good horse and art books since 1973. My open shop of 37 years is now closed, but I welcome online or phone orders. My equestrian books are strong in 19th-century titles, ephemera, and the obscure, overlooked, and uncommon in all fields. Among the other books are many antiquarian bookseller and book auction catalogues. For regular announcements of new arrivals, please sign up at www.bledsoebooks.com. I look forward to serving you.
