Children of the Revolution book
« on: June 15, 2019, 08:46:30 PM »
Anybody looking for the Children of the Revolution book, by Richard Whitehead?. My mates got a near mint/vgc copy. He’s looking for £25, plus £3 postage. Based in Cannock.

I haven't, have been after a copy for a while but it's always been silly money.

I paid £70 for mine quite a few years ago so £25 is a bargain

It’s the definitive story of the Villa in the 1970’s.
Has pride of place in my downstairs loo.

I borrowed Chico’s copy to read.

Strangely, you get some grit in your eyes in places.

Whitehead writes brilliantly.

Can we ask the new owners or anyone else to support the re-issue of this book?

It's been talked about many times but nobody has ever managed to get author and publisher together.

Brilliant book, only criticism I'd have of it is that the author write that history doesn't neatly fit in to decades at the start, but then stops the book in 1979 rather than carry on to 1982, which would seem the more obvious year to me - write about the club going from its lowest point to its highest.

But regardless, it's a fantastic book, superbly written.
