Could you not have added 'new book' to the thread title? Nearly had a heart attack.

Although it's printed Graham Denton on the cover.

Ah well, attention to detail is not my strongest point.

Pitch Publishing, what's their pedigree? And was Ron interviewed for this? Don't think he ever really went in for them, moreso as an elderly man and if he was you imagine it would be trumpeted in the blurb.
Still, could be good.

They do the generic On This Day/Great Games type of books. If the author's managed to get any sort of connection with Saunders then good luck to him but as eamonn pointed out there's no mention of that or talking to anyone else in the blurb.

Anything that draws attention to the great man and his achievements is fine by me.
