Celebrating Second Edition

How sensational is this:  Lewes Racecourse|A Legacy Lost? by Cheryl R Lutring, has gone into its second edition - just in time for the commemoration of closure in mid September 2014.  As usual copies can be obtained from Amazon, this blog spot via Paypal, or from Lewes Tourist Office. 

I had no idea when I conceived the idea of writing a book on the history of Lewes Racecourse, that a mere six months after publication it would be going into its THIRD print run!!  I am very heartened that there is so much interest in the old place and indeed, in matters related to horses.  Superb.

Lewes Racecourse | A Legacy Lost? has made a flying start.  We are delighted to announce that after just a month the book has gone into its second print run. Feedback has been excellent with encouraging comments such as "Thank you, long, long overdue", "A model for a racecourse history", "It told me things about Lewes I had no idea about, thank you", "It is wonderful that at last the story of racing at Lewes has been properly recorded", "I was pleased that the book has been written in a way that engages the non-racing reader with the lives of racing people and the horses", "excellent" ... and so on.

Lewes Racecourse | A Legacy Lost?

Lewes Racecourse | A Legacy Lost?  is a new book by author, Cheryl R Lutring, and will join her stable of horse related books that have general appeal.  To be launched in the spring of 2013 this book heralds the 50th anniversary of the closure of the Racecourse - a regrettable event which occurred in September 1964.  To date it is the only book dedicated solely to the remarkable story of Lewes Racecourse, the legendary horses who have run there, the quirky characters who have lived and worked in the racing scene there, and the place of racing in the community in general.  Peppered with anecdotes and insights, as well as historical facts of a broader nature for context, this book covers the period from the early 1700s right up to the present day.  It encapsulates the story of Lewes Racecourse for the record.
It will be available in all good book stores, from Amazon and directly from this blog via PayPal.  Copies purchased from the blog will be signed by the author.
