Snap it up if you haven't got a copy.

Buy it anyway, I (or someone here) will take it off you if you don't need it.

I bought it as a Xmas present for my uncle a few years back with the intention of reading it at some stage after he had, but my aunt seems to have 'misplaced' it. :(

Star-spangled Villans is going for £30 on Amazon, but you can get pristine signed copies from me for £5.99 + p&p. How’s that for a bargain?

Think I've said this before but given we're properly on the way back to dining at the top table now I think a book on us between 2010-20 would be a fascinating read.

I'm sure people like Faulkner and Wyness would be happy to give up a few hours to give a bit more insight into the chaotic nature behind the scenes in those times.

Was in Coventry last week and there's endless books on the Sisu era so imagine they'll spawn a few more over next 12 months if they win the play off final.

I think a post-Ellis one would be 'interesting'.

The lost decade of the 2010's was bad enough as a Villa fan first time round, the gallows humour of H&V the only thing to make it bearable. Not sure I'd want to go through it again.

Have you ever been tempted to write it?
