I am considering buying John Lerwills books,Villa Chronicles. By now those of you that bought them two years ago will have got through to the end.

I know the clubs history quite well. Question is should I buy or not?

I bought mine for a tenner from the club shop about two years ago. It's still in its shrinkwrap.

I think Chronicles tries to do too much, and when EVERYTHING is packed in, things lose their narrative.

I gave up fairly quickly, an admirable project but desperately lacking a good editor.

Anybody know if they keep a copy in the new Library? If so I may study that first.
