Got a bargain of a hard back book (A3 size) yesterday from the club-shop called MAKING HEADLINES, it is on special offer and a must buy for all Bolton Fans........ contents are headlines from 1873 to may 2004
was £25 now £2

A3 size, trotter? That's a bloddy big tome, old son. Sounds interesting though; I wonder if I contacted them they'd consider shipping one to me. Mind you the postage cost would dwarf the purchase price.
Prithee tell me, squire: does this publication contain only headlines or does it also include all or some of the following articles' text?

Started a thread on this ages ago - very good value for a decent book.

Just bought it online, £2 and free shipping? Sounds like I'm losing the club money by ordering it..
£15 worldwide shipping Dujon.

You will not be disappointed Athers, the history of our great club is all there in the book.

The free shipping did it for me too. One on its way...

Wow, thanks all.
I'll contact the club and see what I can organise.
Jon (you know who you are) thanks for the PM. Given the price I won't trouble you, though I really do appreciate your offer; 'twas extraordinarily kind of you. If it's all right by yourself I'll see how I go with the club and then contact you if I have any problems.

Came today (already..) Signed delivery. Great buy for such a cheap price, probably would've been a decent buy at £25 even. Thanks for the heads up trotter, could spend hours reading this...

I can't seem to find it on the official site. Any assistance, anyone?

Then go to 'souvenirs'. Select 'media' and bob's your uncle.

Mine's ordered and (sort of) confirmed. I'll see in due course I suppose, though the term 'slow boat to China' comes to mind.
Thanks for the information, trotter and Athers. Batman, sorry if I missed your earlier post.

That has got to be the buy of the Century - no wonder the clubs in debt. Shame on all of you for taking advantage of what is odviously a mistake. Ordered mine this morning.

Hip, hip, hooray.
Mine turned up this fine morn. Wonderful. The fact that it took just over a month to arrive is now but a memory. An evening of nostalgia looms.
