We already have a book thread, but General Soreness suggested that a thread devoted to footy books might be a good idea, after I posted this yesterday in the 'Dont want to start a new thread' thread:
Bought a book this afternoon from the Brunswick Street Bookstore in Fitzroy. I didn't see any media coverage or review, so I was surprised to see it on the 'new releases' shelf. The word 'Collingwood' with black and white stripes on the cover took my eye:
'The Collingwood Barracker 1853-1906: A History of Social Recompense', by Robin Murphy, 2017
Sub-title: 'Factors Responsible for the Development of the Distinctive Collingwood Barracker'
And from the 'Introduction':
'It is the intention of this paper to provide reasons why the Collingwood Football Club barracker became a supporter, with passion, devotion and commitment like no other. In addition, the intention is to explore why the supporter became the subject of derision, scorn and ridicule.'
Think I'll enjoy this book.
General Soreness also went to the trouble of looking this up:
Apparently there are seven more copies of this book in stock.
