Official Brit ESB Boxing Book Club & Swap Shop **New Arguello Book Coming Soon**

Plenty of trading websites out there :good

 

:huh I'm hardly a Buchanan 'fan' am I? Just don't hate his guts like you do

 

I read Watsons and De la Hoyas this summer, Watsons is brilliant, ODH just any easy read

 

I picked up th Jack Johnson book Unforgivable Blackness the otter day. I must say, I'm 50 pages in and it's a pretty good read so far

 

Good book thoroughly researched as you will notice with the endless footnotes only critcism is i would like it to delve deeper into the darker side of Johnson personality.

Amazingly detailed good read :good

 

Yeah there's like a quarter of every page full of footnotes which is pretty good going. Like I said I'm only 50 pages in so far, but it's easy to read and probably the most well researched book I can remember.

I couldn't get on with the Greb book, I found the author to be a little incoherent and with poor sentence structure. I'll give it another look over in a week or two, but it looks like LP is gonna get his book back earlier than he thought

 

Read the Nipper 1 damn it!!!!!

 

This........all this.

 

Every one mentions this as a must read book. I think its decent but seems to be overrated by many posters on here from what I have seen some good anecdotal stories though.

He spends a bit too long chatting about South Africa though :deal

 

I got these that Ive read if anybody is interested in swapping or lending up here in Sunderland. I'm a lazy **** and cant be arsed to sort out postage etc but will happily meet someone in town to do the swap.
