Short update... I know several people on this forum have ordered my biography of Joe, "Joe Mercer, OBE: Football With A Smile", and want to keep everyone up to date with where we're at.
The book is currently at the printers and layouts have been proof-read etc. The printers are working hard to try and get the book back ready for distribution at the end of the month.
It is anticipated all subscriber copies will be posted out during the first week of May. By mid-May the book should appear in bookshops across the Country.
The cover for the book (front and back, showing Joe at Maine Rd and with the League Champs trophy) has now been added to Facebook <a class="postlink" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/James-Ward-Publishing/266700661882" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.facebook.com/pages/James-War ... 6700661882</a>
The front can also be seen on Amazon <a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Joe-Mercer-OBE-Authorised-Successful/dp/0955812747/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271403172&sr=1-3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Joe-Mercer-OBE- ... 172&sr=1-3</a>
As well as the original plan for 288 pages of text & b/w imagery from every period of Joe's life, there is now also an additional 16 pages of colour.
Copies will be posted out to all the original subscribers before the book is distributed to the shops.
Thanks to everyone who ordered the book.
