^^^^^ PS spot on. Lived in ignorance as it’s annual thickness sized and shaped. Not looked at it in years.
I’ve found now that I’ve two copies if anyone is interested in one the spare.
I’ve another by Mike Wilson same era, same size and also annual shaped and entitled ‘Hibernian Greats’. Only got the one of those though.

They’re gone, but a click on the sellers other items sees a copy of Growing Up In Green at a reasonable start price (and a damaged dust jacket copy of 100 Years of Hibs).Last edited by Iggy Pope; 10-12-2018 at 05:43 PM.

I just wanted to thank all of the Hibbies, many from this site, who purchased a copy of my book - i'm pleased to say it is now sold out, so you all have a collector's item on your hands :-)
Thanks again for your support, and i hope you enjoyed it.
On to the next one hopefully!

HIBS and The Pogues by Calum Bruce
During the current enforced three quarter season break I am currently reading and enjoying the above book by Calum Bruce
I almost missed this book on Amazon as I thought it was some obscure Pogues CD
It tells the biographical story of a Perth schoolboy supporting HIBS from afar and attending games home and away from circa 1980 onwards encompassing his love for The Pogues
I am not a big Pogues fan but he has a lot of great stories supporting HIBS that may appeal to HIBS supporters of a certain generation
Certainly a decent read for those looking for a HIBS fix to while away the time
Available on Amazon and EBay

Currently Reading Grumpy Gibby the West Stand Hibby
I thought Gordon Smith The Prince of Wingers by his son Tony Smith was an excellent read a real superstar from yesteryear and brought a tear to a glass eye

Reading this book at the moment and enjoying it.
My mum as a kid lived 50 yards from Gordon's shop and pub and I managed to get a good and interesting conversation going with her about it last time we met. As those with parents in their 80's will attest that is not always easy!

The Stuart Cosgrove book Young Soul Rebels (along with his "Detroit 67) has been on my own book shelf for a long time but I haven't got round to reading it. Any good?
Also see the Postcard Records book Simply Thrilled on your shelf. Was really into Postcard back in the day but it was short lived so didn't think their would be enough for a decent book. Any good?
You are also a keen Fall fan. I was never into them massively as a young guy and only owned a compilation but heard loads of sessions on the John Peel Show back in the day. Strangely I like them far more now than I did then. Coincidentally i regularly met up with and drank with Mark E Smith in Leith for a while until I reluctantly decided his habits were too dangerous for my career. Other factoid, a couple of years ago I played competitive table tennis on a number of occasions with one of The Fallen. An intense bloke he was and not surprised he ended fighting with the argumentative wind up artist that Smith was.

Nothing startling but a good catalyst that led on to her speaking about going on the rowing boats with her sisters in St Margarets Loch in Holyrood Park which I was able to show her online photo's off.Last edited by CMurdoch; 17-03-2020 at 02:47 PM.

Got Jackie MacNamara Snr to sign my Bobby Johnstone book at Glasgow Airport and he recommended Lawrie Reillys biography as being an excellent read 😁

As the saying goes - “From little acorns, mighty oaks grow”
Mainly inspired by this thread, I took stock of my Small Hibs related book collection. I had about half a dozen plus a few random Hibs annuals.
I’ve since been picking up more books in the last couple of years and now have a grand total of 88 books that have either direct relevance to the club and its former players (64 books).
A full set of annuals from 2006 to 2020 (15 books).
There are a few stats books included also for seasons we have won leagues or cups. And some photo books I’ve produced myself celebrating that weekend in May 2016. (9 books).
There are around 13 more I have identified that would take the collection to over 100. 10 or 11 of these are relatively easy to obtain via the usual 2nd hand outlets such as ebay or AbeBooks.
However, there’s a few that are harder to come by.
1) The Gilzean Cartoon book (Hibs Flavoured) from the 70s/80s
2) Sandy Macnair’s : We Only Want The Earth (this is my own fault for not purchasing when available)
3) Hearts and Hibs : Capital Classics by Mike Smith
4) An alleged copy of the Docherty & Thomson : 100 Years of Hibs book autographed by Bremner, Munro, Spalding, McArthur and Edwards. I have 2 other copies signed by other contemporary players but this 3rd one seems a bit rarer, if indeed it does exist.
Any pointers where I might be able to obtain any of these at “reasonable” cost?

Well worth popping in if you are passing
100 Years of HIBS difficult to get a copy with an undamaged dust cover with Fat Joe on the front v The Hun signed by any of his contemporaries a bonusLast edited by BILLYHIBS; 19-03-2020 at 08:14 PM.

I pop into various charity shops in and around The Foot of the Walk from time to time. Do see Hibs related books occasionally but more often than not they are ones I’ve already got.
The 2 copies of 100 years I have, do have dust covers but they are 90% in tact. Couple of minor tears on each. Cheers.
