ExiledAjax Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I was given a copy of "Behind the Goal", also by Palmer. So full of typos and grammatical errors it was barely readable. Not sure it had ever been proofread or edited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agard Days Night Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Looks a bit crap if I’m honest. Never seen a good book about City. It All Kicked Off In Bristol was an embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go so far as to say barely readable but I had the same thought about whether it had been proofread/edited. I did wonder though whether part of it was keeping the fans contributions exactly as he received them. The OCD grammar/spelling police in me was itching to get the red pen out.

Hearing details of twenty of the favourite matches of some of our recent players would be a good read. We all know pretty much everything we read on here, especially the trips down memory lane, sure doesn't stop any of us reading it, does it?

Ashton Gate 100 years , and a few histories. While not works of literary genius , they are enjoyable as they relate to 'my' club , though "Derby day's " isn't great. I regularly dip into the 'Complete history' to check facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I'm reading Harry Dolman's book at the moment which is an excellent read so far. He was such a very hard working guy from a very young age. Just about to read about his flying career now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
