RiverStar-Aura Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I'm currently holidaying in Brisbane and came across an antique bookshop so I went in to browse. I really love the smell of old musty books!! Anyhoos, I didn't come across anything to suit my tastes but I did find an old Greyhound Stud Book if anyone is interested. I snuck a photo of the first page and I'm here until tomorrow if anyone would like me to purchase it for them. First Page Edit: link fixed!

Meea Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Tempting but too broke to splurge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Would you like me to get it for you? I'm quite happy to do an IOU or hold onto it until you're ready. I really don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I don't want to buy it, but I would think $55 is quite cheap and you could get more if sold on. It's quite an early volume. Maybe shoot off a PM to Vicdog and Greytmate? They are up to Vol 131. http://www.greyhoundstudbook.co.uk/ I have asked on my FB pages Edited March 22, 2013 by Rebanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverStar-Aura Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Sure thing. I'm being collected for the airport 10:10 and the store opens at 10 so it'll be a mad dash up the road :laugh: I might not have time though will see what I can do.

Kirislin Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If you dont have time perhaps you can remember where the shop is so Jacobite can contact them direct and buy it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I checked their Facebook page and they open at 9am on Saturdays so I've been able to get it for you Jacobite. I'll PM you with details after my flight home! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobite Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Many thanks Riverstar. One of Mrs Jacobite's relatives won the Waterloo Cup in the early 1920's ( according to family gossip ) They walked home 12 miles or so.... celebrated at every pub on the way........

HazyWal Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 You are a champ RSA, how kind of you to grab that book Jacobite will be interesting to see what you can find in the book. Would love to hear if there is any of your family history in there, I love reading about stuff like that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 It's such a cute little book -- the stats don't mean much to me but out of all the dog books in the store, this was the one that grabbed my attention. I'm just glad that it's found a home with someone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
