How many NSCers have a copy of Build a Bonfire?

[SittingbourneSeagull]

No, but would really like a copy. Have got More than 90 minutes, which brings back all of those memories from the last two seasons at the Goldstone, but will buy a copy of Build A Bonfire soon.

Only one now....

I do NOT have a copy. I have rented the one out of Brighton Library twice and been fined for keeping it too long, but never got round to buying one.

I don't DO ebay, so looking at alternative methods to get my hands on one.

If anyone pays that money for it, they're insane, but... thats a way of getting one without ebay. I got mine off Alibris.com (another similar site) YEARS back, copies appear on both.

There's invariably a copy in the auction at the memorabilia fair every year. There was this year and it went for about £25. Only eleven months to wait for the next one.

I have one, and I'm in a picture in the book taken at Hereford as Sir Robbie of Reinelt scores the goal.

 

[house your seagull]

it's a good reference for younger fans, in fact there's somebody i need to lend mine too sharpish.

They should definitely do a reprint including the final chapter of the story when Falmer is finished, to show the power of unity among football fans can win eventually and to show those two/three bastards the club was always going to live a lot longer than they and their money grubbing ways will.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Have not read it but will now, What is known of the Authors ?

 

[Dave the OAP]

i am very fortunate to have collected all the albion books since the john vinnicombe days.

even gullhanger, and the Book And Smith Must Score, which actually was very dissapointing.

Every now and again I flick through the old JV books just to depress myself

 

[British Bulldog]

who would have thought copies would fetch up to 50 quid on eBay?

I found my copy the other day and if thats the sort of price the books are selling for I may well think about selling mine.

It's in hand. The plan is a reprint in paperback with an extra chapter to coincide with opening of Falmer Stadium.

 

[Norman Potting]

Yes, signed by both authors.

Same here, purchased for 99p from a large pile at a discount bookshop in Greenwich around 10yrs ago. Sold on eBay 18mths or so ago for a reasonable turn and await production of an updated version to come out when Falmer opens in 2011.

An excellent read which I thought stood up on its own merits and would appeal to more than just Albion/footie fans. Also showed what absolute rotters A**** and B******* were.

Makes sense, is Mainstream Publishing printing that and if so, is there a web site to pre-order. I must have a copy.
