Haven't read it, but sounds like one I should.

Re: toms book
Purchased a copy at the end of season whilst staying in the very pub where Robert regularly frequents.
Can confirm it a splendid 'can't put down' read with some fantastic artwork.
The reason behind the book being published was very thought provoking and initiated a spark, which in turn gave me mind to do something for my grandson.
If I had been in the pub a week earlier he would have signed my copy too much the pity.
Definitely a "Yatesesque" prose and incited childhood memories. Highly recommended. :thumb:

Re: toms book
This is a very good book indeed. A pity it was printed in such low numbers really. The edition has sold out but second-hand prices haven't soared so it can still be picked up for around cover price.

Re: toms book

Re: toms book
