New OUFC book: The Glory Years by Scott Walkinshaw

Thank you Scott.

I'll buy a physical copy in that case, probably from Waterstones in Oxford, when I'm in the city centre next week.

PS: If the club shop doesn't stock it then there's something very awry there.................
It's be surprised if the club shop stocks this or the new Mickey Lewis books as they're not official club publications. Would be good if they did though
 
With this and the new Mickey Lewis book out next week, it's looking like my January paycheque isn't going to leave me any money to buy food or pay the bills.

Still, priorities...
I must have missed this.
Who is doing the Micky Lewis book?
 
Thanks to everyone who has bought the book, or even thought about it. It means a lot. Just picking up a few points...

I suspect there will be a Kindle version, but I don't think it's imminent. All that's controlled by the publisher and I suspect they'll want to shift physical copies first.

Financially, it doesn't make any difference to me where you buy it from, I basically get a very small amount for every copy sold.

Amazon will be cheapest, but they squeeze the publisher by forcing them to sell it at a lower price... and then there's all that 'not paying tax' stuff associated with them. The revenue split for Kindle books is pretty rubbish for the publisher as well.

Bookshop.org stock it - they fulfil orders through independent bookshops, so although it's a bit pricier, it's good to support those people if you can.

Waterstones will have it in Oxford, Witney, Banbury and Didcot and it's available from them online. I'm still to find out whether the club will stock it, I'm hoping so.
Thanks OB, I'm going to LOVE reading this. I've just bought from Bookshop.org but might have a look in Waterstones in the morning. If they have it I'll give my dad the bookshop copy when it arrives.
 
Back in 2015/16 the club shop also stocked the book A Football Fling by Steve Mingle, one of the directors of isinglass, who were then the club sponsors (it was OK). So I’d hope they’d be happy to support The Glory Years and the Mickey Lewis book.

Sadly neither Soccerbooks nor Bookshop.org deliver internationally, so Amazon it is...
 
November 15th 1980.

I was one of the 2,526 in attendance that cold and wet day in 1980 although in reality there was probably less than 2,000 in the Manor Ground.
The club’s lowest ever EFL home attendance. It was Keith Cassell’s home debut as we beat Chester 1-0 thanks to a Joe Cooke effort.

Once Ian Greaves was appointed manager the following month the team’s performances were transformed.

PS: I ordered the book last night (not from Amazon).

I'm assuming that this and Mickey Lewis can be ordered through a local bookshop.

to be stocked in the club shop, either book will have be approved by the head of commercial and marketing- I shant hold my breath

Me too
 
all books should be able to be ordered through any local bookshop- the books ISBN number is helpful ( albeit not essential) in doing that
I'm just goin into town now to see if they've got it in stock in Waterstones/ Blackwell's & W H Smith.it says they've got it. If the club shop don't do it & I can't get it from either of those .
It'll have to be online. Hope I don't have to do it on line
 
Waterstones & Blackwell's have both got them on order. They will be in stock in a few days ,so you can buy them personally in shop if you don't do online shopping.
