Can anyone recommend, or otherwise, Aston Villa - The Complete Record?



I had the original 2 and they are fantastic. I assume the later Rob Bishop editions will be as well.

Thanks, it's currently £15 plus P&P (£7.99) for the rest of the day.

I also have all three complete record books.

The Complete Record is essential - its our Bible.  Solved a few disputes in the past.

First 100 years by Peter Morris - paperback but tremendous. 

Fan wise Mark B's (brassneck's) is up there with the best - really tells the story of being a very fan home and away in the 70s and beyond as I remember it.  An alternative is  Danny B's and Fowl's book isn't bad either.

Just 14 the best "fictional" book

If your looking for photos then Terry Weir's photo book is up with the very best. 

I really think we are blessed in this sense.

Talking of Villa related books Gangsters, Geezers & Mods will be on sale again outside the church tomorrow, via the author and one of the characters in the book (me and Kurtis). Crime, local history, youth culture, football violence and Villa. Or as the publisher puts it: “Mods, Mobsters and Brum-based Football Bovver!”

Please pop over and say hello if you’re on the manor.
