Hi, Graham. The book is a collection of the Profile Publications series from the 70s (if not the 60s). I think it's out of print now. It's an excellent book, but some parts of it have been overtaken by more recent research, and there are some inaccuracies. IIRC the colour illustration of the Whippet is incorrect, and there are one or two other things. Other than that, it's certainly a great introduction, with so much under one roof, as it were.
