looks an interesting publication-what is the content-just lists and lists and the odd image per season?-any colour images at all? is it for collectors with a check list to knock off what they have got or more for the general fan?.

Hi Leslie, No images, just a list of games played and notifications on whether a programme was produced or not, includes postponed matches, also notes where there was more than one programme and where different covers. |

For me that would be disappointing if the only covers shown are on the front cover as to whom is the book appealing too?
U would think maybe 2-3 image examples per season would have been interesting especially anything considered to be super scarce so everyone can see, seems to me this is would then have a limited appeal and £12 being forked out is going to put a restriction on sales perhaps??.
The "Ultimate United Reviewed" by Alison Ward in 2 versions that last came out in 2003 was much taller and similar format but pages were devoted to every post war season for all first team/ reserves/ youth/ minor games etc etc as the forward shows, i am showing an odd page from both editions and the larger images were from the later edition at the back where a selection at the back to Programmes, tickets, menu's as well as 2-3 per season showing odd covers.
These 2 books became a Bible for United collectors and are both still available-fantastic images in the second edition.
This was the first edition measuring 8 x 6" with 300 pages from 1998
Then in 2003 the larger version came out with 230 pages which measured 12 x 8"

The book is intended for reference only Leslie, the two guys who put it together are collectors who did it to help new Rangers collectors who are in the dark about non issues, there have only been 100 printed and they have to sell half of them to break even, there will be more printed if there is a demand and i'm sure there will be. |

Despite the lack of images it is commendable for a couple of collectors to produce a publication such as this with the aim of helping out fellow collectors.
Should be one for every club.
There was a thread on here a few years ago which listed such publications. |

Agree, a very commendable effort, particularly as it appears to be self financed.
More scans of programmes would have been nice, but I suppose that increases the page count and therefore cost.
The Hearts one published in 1993 has a page of cover scans for every season (in black and white) _________________ https://www.flickr.com/photos/footballprogrammes/albums |

Does anybody know if those Man Utd books are soft back or hardback? I'm assuming hardback looking at the price. |

I have been working on one for years but then decided that rather than a book I would produce a comprehenisive website covering not only 1st team matches but also reserves and youth programmes.
It is still ongoing but I don't get much chance to develop it any further at the moment.
I still like the idea of a book though.
Might get inspired again soon. |

Same process I went through Bisp.
Thought about a book but found doing a website was cheaper and easier. Though it still took over a year to do. _________________ I am not gas, I am a Pirate.

I was a member of a group of Boro collectors who got together to produce this book in 2012.
The format of our book sounds very similar to what the Rangers collectors have produced and it also lists whether a programme was produced or not. The limited edition book covers the first team and reserve team fixtures in all league and cup competitions, plus well over 600 friendlies and other games played at Ayresome Park and the Riverside, all listed by season. It also includes postponements, rearranged fixtures and for the first time in any publication, a list of Boro North Riding Senior Cup and Youth Cup fixtures.
A new updated version is currently being produced going back to 1899 and will hopefully be available soon. It will provide much more detail including a number of images. |

Rocky - looking at the images of both books, there seems to be a solid spine, which would indicate that they're hardbacks. |

The only one I've ever seen was one produced from Brighton Hove Albion; superb pocket size, a few images if I remember right but hit the spot for the information collectors need _________________ Regards,
