BEYER ON SPEED Beyer, Andrew
Boston Houghton Mifflin Company 1993 0395673909 / 9780395673904 Hardcover As New Condition
Andrew Beyer shows the handicapper how to make his Beyer Speed Figures the focal point of a horse wagering strategy for pursuing spectacular profits.No serious horseplayer should be without Beyer on Speed. It explains how to relate speed figures to such factors as pace, track bias, and track conditions. It helps the bettor utilize the new opportunities for picking winners, such as video replays or a successfully structured pick-six ticket—whether betting online, on the phone, or at the track. Written in Beyer's engaging, rapid-fire prose, Beyer on Speed reveals optimal use of the figures based on computer analysis of more than 10,000 races. This invaluable book on wagering is a classic of the sport and can be enjoyed by the novice as well as the advanced player. BookList Thoroughbred handicapping guru Andy Beyer popularized speed figures, which he calls the "most powerful tool in the game," in his first book, "Picking Winners" (1974). Now that the numerical ratings of horses' performances have been canonized in the sport's bible, the "Daily Racing Form", Beyer tells bettors how to use his figures to best effect. He recognizes that the way a figure is earned is as important as the figure itself, and he explains how three key factors--pace, track biases, and trips--relate to figures to make them more or less impressive. As a bonus, Beyer includes a chapter on exotic (multiple) wagering strategies that will be a revelation to bettors accustomed to boxing their trifecta picks. This might be pretty arid stuff in other hands, but Beyer is as colorful as his sport and nearly as entertaining. Racing fans will consider his latest offering to be essential reading.

COCA-COLA GIRLS : AN ADVERTISING ART HISTORY Beyer, Chris H.
Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. Collectors Press 2000 1-888054-44-1 / 9781888054446 Hardcover As New Condition
This is, says the publisher, "the first licensed Coca-Cola art book," and Beyer is a devout ad art collector whose hoard proliferated from one old Coke serving tray. So expect no trenchant analysis, let alone criticism, and nary a peep about that centennial fiasco new Coke from the text. This is a book to be eyeballed more than read. Its main attraction consists of page after page of pretty young women posing with the Atlanta elixir. The "Coca-Cola Girl" was the image the company preferred for pitching its potion, from the 1890s to the 1960s. Very rarely did a boy or young man appear, and after 1930 only in support of the girl. The quality of the color reproductions is deliciously lush and sparkling, some of the artists are famous (N. C. Wyeth, Norman Rockwell), and each girl is perfect and wholesome, regardless of how one feels about the drink. .. The quality of the color reproductions is deliciously lush and sparkling..." --
