As an adolescent in England, my father was a jockey for a thoroughbred
horse trainer named Jack Jarvis.  I recently found out that Mr. Jarvis
published an autobiography (1959?) called "They're Off:  An
Autobiography."

I'd like to purchase this book for my father as a gift--I'm sure he
would love it.  However, since it's out of print, I cannot find it
anywhere.  Can anybody give me a site that has it for sale?  Thanks!
