SUMMARY- All interior photographs are black-and-white. This is for people interested in getting into horseshoe collecting. There's a lot of interesting information on the developement of horseshoes here.

Shire Publications always includes a reading list and a visitor or museum listing where you can see real examples of the subject matter of the issue. I love that feature of these books and think it's worth the price of admission all by itself!
