Last-minute shopping? Courier Journal can get you out of a holiday bind

Well, The Courier Journal can help you out of your holiday bind. We have a couple of books to recommend — and while the books will not arrive before Dec. 25, you can send along a gift voucher to announce your thoughtful intentions. (And then exhale because another item has been checked off your holiday to-do list!)

Our first choice: “150 Years of the Kentucky Derby: Through the Lens and Voice of The Courier Journal.” This coffee-table book offers unparalleled exploration of the race’s storied past, combining historic and modern-day photographs with insightful stories. Every page reflects the excitement and elegance of the race, from the intensity on the track to the sophistication of the fashion and the rich culture of the iconic event.

This hardcover collector’s book runs $44.95, plus tax and shipping.
