Looks like there's a couple of copies of this on Amazon - one at £59.95 and another at a mere £999 (plus postage of course)!
I'd love one...how can we go about getting a reprint Dave?
The sad reality is it probably wouldn't sell shedloads. Who apart from a (relatively) small amount of Villa fans and the very occasional fan of another club would buy it? If it was a guaranteed money maker it would have been reprinted by now.

It would sell enough to be viable.

It would sell enough to be viable. It possibly would, depending on who owns the rights etc. Which is different to it definitely selling shedloads though. If it was a nailed on money maker someone would have re-published it by now as no publisher is going to turn down profit. I'd love to see it back in print as I think it is a great book, but am also think it is very much a niche market that will want to buy it.
If they sell at that price. There is a big difference between asking a high price and getting it. Especially on books. I should know, i've been selling the things for over 20 years. There's been a copy floating on ebay for £60 for ages without being bought, as an example.
