parkstone 24 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yep great book wrote by people who actualy coursed/worked their dogs as well as showing/racing. unfortunatly a lot of whippet books have the same rubbish in them but this 1 has always stood out, before the reprint 1st editions of this book in good condition where changing hands for more than £250 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

parkstone 24 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 not sure about the price of 23nd editions. i'd imagine the 2nd edition would have a lot lower value than the 1st edition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cupid Stunt 18 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 i'd imagine the 2nd edition would have a lot lower value than the 1st edition. I understand that but just wondered if there was any difference in price between the two versions published in 84 & whether the amendments were of any significance.
