As i understand it yes there are but obviously will cost you more than the Amazon price. I've ordered 4 of the numbered 11-50 copies i'm just wondering when will get delivered
as i don't particulary wish to have to pick them up from VP. Very little info forthcoming from publishers.

Yes, agree. Surprised that they haven't made things a bit clearer, particularly when they're selling a product.

Does anyone know what time the launch starts on 5th November?

It starts at 12pm in the Holte Suite. 

I pre-ordered the book on Sunday.

coincidentally I've just purchased Children of the Revolution from Oxfam online for £20.00!! I've been looking for a copy for years.

You could sell that for £60 on ebay.

"Children of the Revolution", which Holte L2 borrowed from me recently and obviously enjoyed, is one of the best Villa books, together with Peter Morris's club history, Dave Woodhall's "From one Season to the Next" and Simon Inglis's Villa Park history

And Terry Weir's book.

It was a fantastic read Frank. Really enjoyed and many thanks for the loan again.  Glad to have it in my collection. Couldnt believe it when I saw it on Oxfam online for £20!

Chris Nicholl, Jim Cumbes, Alan Little, Frank Carrodus, Bobby McDonald are already confirmed for the book launch. My Dad bless him was a financial adviser to several Villa players in the 70's. I'll never forget arriving home after work one night and Frank Carrodus was in our Kitchen sitting at the table discussing insurance or something with my Dad! I was in awe....one of my heroes! No football agents as such in those days!
