Hello guys.
Does anybody have a copy of the book titled ‘The Solidus’ which they would be happy to sell to me.
I have searched everywhere for it and I just don’t seem to be able to get hold of it. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Thank you very much.
P.S. This is my first post and not really sure if I should have posted my request in this section.

You could try contacting son-of-smartsig:
who may be able to point you in the right direction
December 21, 2011 at 13:33 #383534You might be able to get it sent to you as PDF files. One part of it appears available here;

December 23, 2011 at 00:08 #383793A really interesting read. I’ve computerised, from cover to cover.
The problem is accurate data. As a result of rail movement and going descriptions, results can only be relied on in calibrated straight races and a/w. Solely, "The Solidus" contributed in my winning TRF Grade 1 Class 1 flat competition.
If you send me a private message with your address, I’ll send you a photo copy of this extremely rare and valuable gem.December 23, 2011 at 12:32 #383824the list
more famous than the hanging gardens
much rarer than the seven glass skulls some
emanating from the Aztec/Mayan civilizations.
Once in possession of it – just as deadly…"It is said that when he willed death
with the help of the skull,
death invariably followed.
The problem is there is little
evidence to draw on as
he used the skull frequently
and didn’t like those with big mouths
or the appearance of half a brain."December 24, 2011 at 17:57 #383986Thank you very much for all the replies and offers of helping me out regarding the ‘solidus’.
A very kind gentleman sent me a PDF.
Wishing you all a very happy christmas. (I will be spending the break getting stuck into the book)
cheers

Hi All
this my first post. I am desperate to get a copy of the Solidus which I am finding very difficult to source. I am not sure if its acceptable to beg on your first post ….if you dont ask you dont get. Anyway does anybody have a copy they would like to sell. I have heard a lot about the book and am interested in it with a view to maybe using it to drive my selections. I programme in VB and think this would be an interesting project for me to take on as i am now retired. Please can you help

August 28, 2012 at 21:58 #411292Davey Towey’s Book ‘The Solidus’.
The Racing sense (SSR1) program was written under Davey’s direction. Many of you have asked if Davey’s 1993 book is still available. We’ve just managed to organise a reprint. Unfortunatly the binding is not a good as the original but the 100 pages with all the original charts, coloured graphs and pictures, are superb. The book thoroughly explains the original concepts and ideas in Davey’s own inimitable style. If you have a computer and are not very good at mathematics, the above program follows his method exactly. If you haven’t a computer or want to use his system on non-UK races, this is the book for you.
The book is available
now for £15, Postage and Packing Free

June 12, 2023 at 21:39 #1651339The cynic in me wonders if at least one of the posters asking about this was Davey Towey himself on a cunning, covert, marketing drive.

June 12, 2023 at 22:37 #1651346“Genuine enquiry can’t locate the book anywhere”
I googled it out of curiosity and I couldn’t find a way to buy it either.
I did, however, find virtually identical questions about it.
Either the cynic in me is right, or it’s simply a much-sought-after book and over a number of years.
