Hibs Books

[BSEJVT]

Is there a definitive list of Hibs related books available anywhere?

I am looking to build up my collection and there are some by people I have never heard of and getting some others is like finding goldust!

Its also quite confusing as some authors seem to have multiple books with very similar titles? (excluding volume 1 2 & 3!)

I notice Volume 2 of John Campbells' book is coming out, what happened to volume 1? I cant find it anywhere.

All help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Good luck with your quest to find a definitive list of Hibs books. I hadn't seen any books at all on the Club until '100 Years of Hibs' came out in our centenary year. My collection now stands at 21 - with another two being added shortly (Gordon Smith & Franck Sauzee), not to mention John Campbell's trilogy. I've also missed a few but hopefully not many.

[Bobo]

Took this from the Bounce there's a pretty in depth list there.

[BSEJVT]

That's great

Thank you

Thanks for your reply

If you could give me the names of your 21 I would be grateful.

I will add details of any I have that dont appear

Folks

Book one of my trilogy is written (as is book two and most of book 3 ) and the original launch date was July 2011 but the publisher has decided to approach it from a different angle and I understand it is the intention to release the trilogy as a box set in July 2012. It's the same publisher that published Alan Lugton's "The Making of Hibernian" trilogy and the intention there is to re-publish them also as a box set and in July 2012. The aim is to offer up a complete history of Hibernian FC from 1875 to date.

I'm assured that all six will also be available singly as the cost of anyone buying all six at once might be quite scary I also understand my trilogy will be available as ebooks

Hope this helps

Hi Bob, the list is only the titles that I've got myself it's not a recommended list. The Bobby Johnstone book is one I missed out on but I'm hoping that can be rectified around Christmas time (particularly if my son reads this thread).

I got my copy on ebay about a year ago, good luck in finding a copy.

[tanfield]

I got mine from Whsmith a few years ago. Could try there. One of my favourite Hibs books!

[tanfield]

Also there's two versions of "The Hibees". The 2nd copy carries an update from the season or two after the original book.

Yes indeed, the first ihibs book should be available in the next couple of months. I'm just ironing out a few glitches and errors but you can get an idea here: http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/misc_book.php. Fitbastats has taken a bit more of my time than originally planned and now has Rangers & Celtic versions.

I'm also working on another book for publication The Hibs Miscellany which is due for publication June 2012.

Great stuff B

Soon the bookshop shelves will be overflowing with Hibs Books

[Sergey]

There's also the classic 'A Midsummer Night's Kicking' by Andy Blance.

[BSEJVT]

Thanks for the updates folks.

Anyone know anything about this one?

Andrew Mcvannan - We are Hibernian - the fans story

[big-mo]

There are three other publications which will will/may be published later this season-

Peter Cormack's autobiography - 'From the Cowshed to the Cop', due out next spring (Originally to be called From Leith to Liverpool)

And two publications which I am working on, 'The Hibernian History Handbook', which I will be publishing myself and should be on sale before Christmas and covers the history of the club, season by season from the arrival of the founders from Ireland until the start of this season. It will cover all major events, players and games in the clubs history and will be used a quick reference book.

The second is in association with the Former Players Association, I am still in the process of getting a publisher, the title (still to be finalised) will be From the Terracing to the Touchline, and is the stories of Hibs fans who made the transition from just supporting the club to playing for them.

Andrew Mcvannan - We are Hibernian - the fans story

Yes here is a link to more info about the book: http://www.luath.co.uk/luath-books.html

I was actually going to post something up at the end of this week as the book is due out then, but seeing as this post came up...
For a bit of background it features 20 chapters with 20 fans inc. Irvine Welsh, Dougray Scott, Charlie Reid, Fish, Dick Gaughan amongst many others.
I will be posting more details soon but I have pasted a description below here as well - Hope this helps!

By delving into the lives and backgrounds of an entire network of avid supporters, We are Hibernian explores how people become so involved in football, and is it the binding of tradition, memories and experiences off the pitch that make them believe their first choice was the right one? There are stories here from men and women who were taken to the football grounds as youngsters and now take their own kids, showing how the religion that is football can be passed down from one generation to the next, providing entertainment and family folklore for years to come.
Essentially this book is not just about football, but about the stories that surround it!
