Star-spangled Villans

And:

https://www.olddogbooks.net/shop/olddogbooks/gangsters-geezers-and-mods/

Both by erm… me.


Nice one Percy
I can recommend Gangsters Geezers and Mods by Percy of this parish. I'm not an avid book reader usually but I did get into this one and I really enjoyed it. It's not a hoolies book btw although I can imagine Percy being a bit rowdy  ;D

Another brilliant book by Percy.

Nice one big man.

I got this book for Christmas, has newspaper match reports going back to 1905. Not a conventional book like the others mentioned, but nonetheless I found it interesting.

Same here. Thought it it would be about Andy or maybe Stuart, not a motley crew  of deviated preverts getting jiggy with it and making the beast with two backs.

Caveat emptor!

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.
