Calling all Ipswich Town Fans!
We have copies of All to Play For ‘The Burley Years’ the new Ipswich Town book. A stunning new book highlighting the success of George Burley’s years at Ipswich Town Football club. It was such a pleasure to meet Author Neil Prentice. Very proud of my ITFC window. We have special editions in a beautiful slip case each with a special numbered signed certificate from George himself - Only 913 copies produced, representing the 913 games he played and managed for Town.
​
Some copies of the other ITFC book Neil Prentice produced back in 2010 celebrating Town’s UEFA Cup win in 1981 have been discovered. Very similar in style to George’s book Neil has produced a slipcase to create a unique Collector’s edition - accompanied by a certificate signed by Russell Osman and Terry Butcher, who as you all will know, played in that great team.
Please see how the next title in Neil's ITFC collection will look alongside 'All To Play For'. There will only be 275 of these in existence, so it is a rare piece of ITFC memorabilia. We will have copies available at The halesworth Bookshop (Keep your eyes and ears open)
Also excited to confirm - Neil has commenced work on a book with another Ipswich Town legend which will be available later this year. More news on that to follow!

He always knew: when his life came tumbling down, it would occur in public. Campbell Flynn is fuelled by an appetite for wealth and admiration, controversy and novelty. An art historian and celebrity pundit, he has enjoyed a charmed career rubbing shoulders with oligarchs and aristocrats, fashion designers and fine artists, at ease with the highbrow and the mainstream.
Only now, the world is changing. Over the course of an incendiary year a web of secrets and crimes will be revealed, and Campbell Flynn may not be able to protect himself from the shattering exposure of all his privilege really involves. Andrew O'Hagan's novel Caledonian Road was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 31/03/2024
