Book appeal

DO you have a copy of the 1976-’77 Sean P. Graham Irish Racing Annual in your attic or garage? It was the first edition of Tom McGinty’s publication, a traditional Christmas treat for racing fans which is now known as the Irish Racing Yearbook. Current editor Daragh Ó Conchúir would like to mark 40 years of the ‘Annual’ in this year’s issue. If you have a copy of the first one, please contact The Irish Field and we will put you in touch.
