The beginning text is Explanations-what the catalog is about and explainations of the work presented.

This is a fascinating lot of reading material all housed in the original Blue covered 3 ring binder. This was done so the suppliments could easily be added. This already had 2 suppliments added. The binder is strong and in very good condition as are all the pages. While not numbered sequentially, there is at least 200 pages or so in this book. Here is an exceptionally rare find and is absolutely fascinating reading for anyone who loves and appreciated the history and heritage of the Arabian Horse-whether breeder or not.
