I picked up 4 hardbacked books for a £1 a few weeks ago, All worthy of TTM requests, All were sent out on the 17th of September. Today the first is back. This book was only published in April of this year....First edition too, suprisig what can be found charity shop shelves. "80 Not out" by Harold " Dickie" Bird..just had to have one of his signed books amongst my cricket collection, Another National Treasure I think. Love the way he has signed and dedicated. the title page, Dickie even signed a pic in the book...his last test match back in 1996...pleased with this one....
Famous umpire brings out another book: Dickie Bird – ’80 Not Out’ April 12th, 2013
Barnsley’s former Test and World Cup umpire Dickie Bird celebrates his 80th birthday – and he has marked the occasion by bringing out another book.
In ’80 not out’ he has selected some of his favourite memories from a career that saw him officiate at three World Cup Finals, and he also reflects, for the first time, with his own irrepressible humour and good cheer, on all the ups and downs of his lifer since his retirement 15 years ago, and gives his straight-talking views on the state of the modern game.
His passion for cricket, as well as life itself, has remained undiminished since he made a tearful exit in his final Test as an umpire at Lord’s in 1996. Instantly recognisable, even without his famous white cap,
Book 25p, 2 jiffy bags 2 x 25p, recycled stamps, nice letter, half hour of my time....75p for this...And it's awesome.
