Book Previews - March 2008

New Burnley books!

Burnley fans are certainly well catered for in the reading department, and word has reached us of another two books that any discerning Claret will surely want on his or her bookshelf.

No Nay Never: A Burnley FC Anthology (Volume Two)

The first is by Dave Thomas, Burnley stalwart and good friend of the London Clarets. Dave is, of course, already well known for his previous Burnley-related books, and his new one, No Nay Never: A Burnley FC Anthology (Volume Two), promises to rank alongside them as a must-read.

The book, which is due to be published in October, will be available in hardback format (400 pages) and will retail for £14.99. It will be an official Burnley Football Club publication, boasting a foreword by none other than Burnley legend Paul Fletcher MBE, with proceeds going to the Burnley FC Youth Development Trust. There will be a dinner on Saturday 11th October to celebrate its launch.

The second book is by new authors - and Burnley fanatics - Mark and Lester Davidson, and is packed with information about programmes, match tickets, cards and other Burnley FC-related collectibles. It consists of 262 full-colour pages, and would make either an excellent gift or a welcome addition to your own bookshelf.
