As a teenager in the 70s, I couldn't resist this one!! Hope it's as good as Sandy's fanzine offerings.

Good to bump into you on Saturday Bill - Ginger guy from the Widows back in the day.

Back on the thread............looks a perfect book for me as well.

I bumped into Sandy at ER a couple of months back and he was telling me this book would be out shortly, i better start dropping hints to Mrs OS.
Having known Sandy since the late 70's i might even be caught up in various incidents in the book.

That'll be the early 70s!!!!! :wink:

Looks ideal for my old man. Definitely his era.

That's Mrs OS been told hopefully she finds it and hides it my back before heading offshore for Christmas.

Having a bit of a nightmare getting hold of this book and need it today for a Christmas present.

Amazon don't have it in stock, Waterstones at Ocean Terminal don't have it, as is the case with both the Club Store and the programme shop on Albion Road.

Anyone know where I can pick it up?

Don't bother - was there this afternoon and they had none in stock. A bit annoyed as I wasted a couple of hours today hunting this book down but to no avail. What's the point in writing a book if nobody can buy it?!

Did you try the Four in Hand?

There were copies on sale there when I was in before the match last week.

I assume this is where my auld man got his, And I think he told me Sandy was in as well. I'm going to steal it off him once he's done reading it.

Yup - Waterstones Ocean Terminal, Hibs shop, Four in Hand and Blackwells South Bridge. Not one copy to be found! Seems mad when it was being heavily advertised by young laddies handing out flyers before the game last week.

It must be sold out judging by that other posters travels to get his hands on a copy The author should give him a singed free copy and personally deliver it to him :wink:

[poolman]

[Greenblood70]

Read it in a couple of sittings, entertaining read and brought back a few fond memories.

They've got a FB page so might be able to ask the question there if it's not to late.

*CHRISTMAS SIGNING SESSION*
I'm delighted to announce that Sandy will be doing another book signing session at Tamson's Bar tomorrow. We'll be there from about 11:15, so feel free to pop in for a pre-match pint and get a copy of the must-have Hibbie book of 2014!
Every chance we'll be there after the game too!

[poolman]

Sandy just text me to say he'll be in Tamsons from 11am and after the game as well :-)

[poolman]
