A propos de cet article

Privatley published by the author, 1979, first edition, and printed in Bakersfield; 8vo, 145 x 218mm; pp xvi, 312; bright yellow cloth gilt, the covers stamped with a pseudo leather pattern; pictorial dust wrapper with a photograph on the back of Rojas's displayng his skill in floating a horse's teeth; profusely illustrated throughout with photographs; signed by Rojas on the front fly and with two further dedications on the blank pages following - one reads "Best wishes to Pete Birkett from Ernest Morris" and illustrated with a neat drawing of a horse balking at the edge of a cliff, signed E.
