I picked this one up for £2.50 yesterday in a local charity shop in Accrington.
Hardbacked first edition from 1998 titled " Behind the White Ball" The autobiography of Jimmy "Whirlwind" White" MBE,signed in Biro just how I like them, My favourite Snooker player of all time, Had a TTM reply from him last year. Still the people's champion.
James Warren "Jimmy" White MBE (born 2 May 1962) is an English professional snooker player. Nicknamed "The Whirlwind" because of his fluid, attacking style of play and popularly referred to as the "People's Champion", White is a multiple World Championship finalist, renowned for losing each of the six finals for which he qualified. White's extensive list of achievements, however, also include victory in the World Amateur Championship, the UK Championship and the Masters. He is also a former World Doubles champion with Alex Higgins, won the World Cup twice and Nations Cup once with England and was the 2010 World Seniors Champion. In 1992, he became the first left-handed player, and second overall, to record a maximum break at the World Championship.

Really good find, Alex. Somehow I don't think you'll be following the advice of the sticker on the front.
