Another one for the Celtic book collection

[obree]

Today I got the Holy Grail of Celtic books the very first book written about Celtic " The Story of Celtic " by Willie Maley published in 1939 . Willie Maley was Celtic's first manager and founder member he took  charge of Celtic in 1897 and won the League Championship in his first season in charge he retired in February 1940 . Willie Maley is the longest serving manager in Celtic's history. In his 43 years as manager, he won 16 League Championships , 14 Scottish Cups , 14 Glasgow Cups and 18 Glasgow Charity Cups .

I have been after this book for a long time it has come up on ebay a few time but the prices go sky high , two weeks ago there were two on Amazon one was £280 in good condition and the other was £178 in fair condition they are not on Amazon today . I got mine for £30 yes £30 in good condition  I can't believe I got it for that price I'm very lucky . I'm a bit dissapointed  the autograph is pre printed though B-) . The book had a white dust jacket with green writing when it was published what price would a book complete with that be ?

It's awesome when you find something special like that. Pleased for you Brian. Sounds like you got a great deal as well.

Tough job sourcing a dj for a rare book without spending much. I have a similar mission for my 60 year old book signed by Adolph Zukor, the founder of Paramount Pictures.
