The website www.soccerdata.com has an up-to-date list of the unsold stock.

 

The books are from my own collection, so I only have one copy of each. The condition of each book is generally

very good unless otherwise stated. Make me an offer if you don’t agree with my prices. Please note that, unless

otherwise stated, the prices do not include postage. Contact me first by e-mail, phone or letter with the item

numbers to see if they are still available, and I will quote you the postage at cost, by Royal Mail or EVRI. In

general, single copies of a small hardback will travel in the UK for around £3. Large hardbacks and multiple

orders will travel by EVRI for £7 and upwards.

 

Hardback books are identified by hb, paperbacks pb. A4 indicates “large format”, the others are mostly

a standard book size unless otherwise described. Numbers are for your reference when ordering and may not be sequential.

 

Payment can be made by a cheque payable to Tony Brown, by responding to a Paypal request from me,

or by a BACS payment to my bank account (details sent to you on request).

 

Newapapers and magazines

50. Bound copies of Soccer Star, eight volumes for 1959 to 1966 inclusive. All weekly copies for these years are included. The volumes occupy nearly a metre of shelf space and weight a considerable amount. They can be posted, but consideration should be given to collection from Nottingham or nearby.  £400 for the eight volumes, plus postage. The magazine ran for a few more seasons, changing format at one point. I have unbound copies of all these issues,  which will first be offered for £50 to the buyer of the bound volumes.

51. Bound copy of The Field newspaper for the final months of 1863. Much unwanted coverage of racing news and other stuff, but of great interest to us as it contains detailed accounts of the early meetings of the Football Association. £50 plus postage for a heavy volume.
