****EDIT: This thread and Bluemooners have helped to identify that the Book Depository are selling copies of my history of MCFC at a discounted price and with free worldwide postage. I've never used them but some have and say their claim is true. So if you live outside of UK and want to buy "Manchester The City Years" this does seem the cheapest way to do it: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Manchester-City-Years-Gary-James/9780955812774" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.bookdepository.com/Mancheste ... 0955812774</a> ******


Sorry for the plug but as there have been no reviews in national newspapers (or for that matter it hasn't been reviewed in local papers either), I have to try and spread knowledge of my latest book.

"Manchester The City Years" is now being stocked across the country in many Waterstones branches. This is the only national chain of any type to be stocking the book, so if you live in Edinburgh or London, Bristol or Lisburn and are interested in buying a detailed history of the Blues then pop in to your local store and have a look.

It has taken a lot to persuade Waterstones to stock the book across the UK and their support is very important, so thanks to everyone who has helped to make it happen.

You can actually check whether your local store has the book by entering your postcode here: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/displayStockAvailability.do?sku=9019528&excludeProductfromRC=false" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesw ... omRC=false</a>

Signed copies are available at Waterstones Deansgate and at the National Football Museum. City also have copies at both their Manchester stores.

For more info on the book have a look at: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150796330997816.396386.289818652815&type=3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 815&type=3</a>

Sorry for the plug, but a couple of us have worked hard to get the book stocked across the country and have hit many obstacles along the way. The reason why I wrote the book was to dispel the myth about "No history" and I see getting the book stocked nationwide as another step forward in getting the right messages out about City. Thanks for all who have supported it so far.

That's a bit odd because my publisher doesn't supply them. But if you can get free delivery worldwide then it's definitely worth doing. The book weighs about 1.7kg and overseas post can exceed the purchase price (sounds a bit odd to me that they can do it for that price!). Surface mail to USA is about £13, so the book depositary would actually lose money on each order.
 
Re: City history book now available nationwide

Buy it, if you haven't already got it. It's a fantastic piece of work and dare I say the perfect Christmas present
 
Re: City history book now available nationwide

I think i'll get a couple of copies and send one to the Manchester United supporters association just to remind them that other clubs have historys too !

Might even go the whole hog an' wrap it in sky blue christmas paper !

A Bible for all Blues, truly a great read, I can't even imagine how much work would've gone into it, great effort Gary
 
Re: City history book now available nationwide

It is truly a tremendous effort. I think of the money I have spent on some truly shite books over the years, and in terms of ''pounds spent for amount of enjoyment provided' Gary's work is incredibly good value for money.

If you have little knowledge of our history, put it right. If you have extensive knowledge of our history, improve on it (there are some real gems tucked away in this book.) If you have enjoyed the last two seasons, re-live them. If you wondered about the Hughes Out issue, think it through again. If you never thought about how close we were to the edge in Shinawatra's last days, read it and be afraid. (Very afraid.)

If you've already got Gary's book, think about Trautmann's journey, another fantastic read.
 
Re: City history book now available nationwide

Quite simply the best book ever written about the club, can't recommend it highly enough.

Here's my review of it for anyone interested:
