The Book is Out - George Benson, The Racing Years

George's racing book is here. Hours of research, phone calls, writing and rewriting, input and edits from many, endless proofreading, and it is born at last.

We have been shipping soft covered books, and the hard copies will be here toward the end of next week. Those seem to be taking longer to print.


Here's the scoop....................

Just Released!

Congratulations on the completion of the book. Must have been a daunting undertaking. Now he'll just sit around doing nothing right? yeah right. NOT... not George, he has too much energy.

Hi Jo,
Am I understanding this right--this is your husband, George Benson? Congratulations, and don't I know you're excited!

Hmmm . . . not sure when it was officially released, but you know, Monday it will be 14 years Mom's gone. Vernon and I have been clearing out a Storage Unit of about 30% of our stuff stored away since we moved to Kentucky, and I've come back in touch with some precious stuff. She's hanging around right now, I know. She would LOVE to see this, and be so happy for you!!!
