5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous, informative and more..., 6 Feb 2007
By Mr. Conrad E. Goodenough "conrad" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I've only visited a few of the courses described within, since reading the book I am itching to visit more. There are some wonderful stories to accompany the sound reference that this book provides making the whole read thoroughly enjoyable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for novices and experts alike, 13 Dec 2006
By Mr. A. Foster (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thouroughly enjoyed this book and am sure it will be used as a quick reference for years to come. I found it both informative and hilarious at the same time and it has definately increased my knowledge on the great courses we have around the UK. It was quite revealing to see how well the Author did in his betting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing, informative, an enjoyable read. , 2 Sep 2008
By A. I. McCulloch (Co Durham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Having bought this book to plug the many gaps in my knowledge on British racecourses, I was delighted to discover a book I found difficult to put down. Stephen Cartmell's warm and witty style was highly informative and very engaging.

The book is full of interesting facts not just about the racecourses but describing the surrounding areas for each one, enabling the casual reader to build up a real picture. Those who enjoy sampling on-course catering have found a sure ally in Stephen Cartmell, as descriptions of the food on offer pepper each piece.

Not just a racing guide then, but a travel book, a food guide and a snapshot of British social history. Be warned if you read it on public transport enroute to a race meeting - it's highly likely that you'll laugh out loud at least once.
