A question for any Forest fans out there.I'm looking to buy a book on the club history of Nottingham Forest,but there seems to be two OFFICIAL 150 year anniversary editions for sale by different authors.Which would be the best one to buy ?.

The two that I am aware of Coops are the official club version by club historian Don Wright, and an updated 150th year version of Philip Soar's book from 1998. Philip Soar is a well respected football historian (but a terrible club shareholder!), but Don is the current official club historian, and his book was specifically written to celebrate the 150th year. So, although I have Soar's 1998 edition, my money would be on Don's

No probs. The Philip Soar book is well worth having, its just not a 150th anniversary book in my opinion though
