The Kentucky Derby has been called “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports,” but why is it that this race is so important to so many people? “It has all the elements of an epic event — drama, color and excitement,” says NBC Sports racing commentator Tom Hammond. “Derby history is long and colorful, making it one of the most important sporting events in the world.”
In The Kentucky Derby Vault™: A History Of The Run For The Roses, Kentucky native and longtime turf writer Andrew Plattner offers his own unique insight into the history of the race and what it is that makes the Derby so special. As much a scrapbook as it is a history book, opening the Vault is like getting a tour through your own personal Kentucky Derby museum. Plattner mixes great race coverage with behind-the-scenes anecdotes and personal stories to present a view of the Derby that you won’t find anywhere else.
“The Kentucky Derby Vault is something every true Derby lover will enjoy, a great collection of the race’s best memorabilia, photos and stories,” says Hammond, who shares his personal connection to the Derby in the book’s foreword. John T. Ward Jr. contributes the afterword.

Long before Edward Cullen and the Twilight phenomenon, there was Angel, Barnabas Collins and Bela Lugosi, and many others in between. They are vampires — the undead. Add an infusion of Bella, Buffy and Carla Laemmle, then sprinkle in unforgettable characters such as Renfield and little Eddie Munster, and you have a capsule of how cinematic vampires are viewed by today’s world. But there were vampires walking this earth long before the invention of movies and television. In this book, author David J. Skal weaves a narrative history of vampirism, from the ancient Aztecs through the writings of Bram Stoker, Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer. But what makes this book even more unique are the replicas tucked inside sleeves and pockets. There are removable photos of Bram Stoker, Carmilla and Lord Byron. For movie buffs, it has posters from Nosferatu, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave starring Christopher Lee, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula — along with a replica of Stoker’s “Dracula” notes. It also has photographs from Forks, Washington, where the Twilight series is based. Take a walk through the history of the undead, with romance, horror and blood along the way. Foreword by Nina Auerbach, author of Our Vampires, Ourselves. Afterword by Rosemary Guiley, author of Encyclopedia of Vampires, Werewolves and Other Monsters
