In every delivery of books I receive, a few will have damage to the jackets, cover or corners, that means they don't pass my 'Birthday Present Test'.
I can tell from the dedications that a lot of books bought from me are meant as gifts, so I don't send these copies out in case someone unwraps them and feels a bit disappointed.
They're basically fine — I've received worse through mail order — and all the pages inside are exactly the same as they would be in a pristine copy delivered from the presses by gentle hands. But even so, I wouldn't want to see your grandparent's disappointed face if the corner was bent and I knew it.
So I'm selling these slightly damaged copies for a low price to you, if you're not bothered about that and just want one you can chuck about, bang off things, spill drinks on, and maybe even read.
These are also a good option if you live outside the UK where the postage prices are high.
The deal in a nutshell here, then: same book, with some cosmetic damage.
Here below is the usual info about the book itself:
A new history written by Daniel Chapman, aka Moxcowhite, published by Icon Books in association with Leeds United to coincide with the club’s centenary celebrations.
★ Now also available in paperback, published September 2020
★ Hardback and paperback Champions Editions are updated to include the 2019/20 title
★ And uncovering lost documents behind the closure of Leeds City
If you need a copy in a hurry or want it cheaper, the book is available from all good book stockists worldwide, including Amazon and Waterstones in the UK and Booktopia in Australia. If you ask your nearest bookshop anywhere in the world they should be able to order it in. Because of postage costs, this will be much cheaper than buying from here — but this is the only place to order one signed.
It's also available as an audiobook, only from Audible, or as an ebook direct from Icon Books.
100 Years of Leeds United is a 472 page hardback or 640 page paperback book telling the story of a one-club city and its unique relationship with its football team.
It has been updated for a new Champions Edition published in September 2020, taking the story to the end of the 2019/20 Championship title winning and centenary season, and uncovering lost documents crucial to the closure of Leeds City in 1919.
Since its foundation in 1919, Leeds United Football Club has known more ups and downs than most, rising to global fame through an inimitable and uncompromising style in the 1960s and clinching the last Division One title of the pre-Sky Sports era in 1992, before a spectacular fall from grace at the start of the 21st century.
United remains one of the best supported – and most divisive – clubs in football, with supporters’ clubs dotted across the globe, all hoping for a return to the Premier League.
In 100 Years of Leeds United, Daniel Chapman delves deep into the archives to discover the lesser-known episodes, providing fresh context to the folkloric tales that have shaped the club we know today, painting the definitive picture of the West Yorkshire giants.
