Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 (edited) Our new book (576 pages and bigger than A4 size) is being published on the last weekend of November and we are hoping to have a launch on the evening of the 29th, venue to be confirmed. The book contains a profile and photo, sometimes two of over 1000 ex-Saints, going back to the first competitive fixture in 1887 and although we have published Who's Whos before this one is more than just an update as we have tracked down and spoken to most still alive and taped interviews with quite a few who have passed on. Terry Paine is writing the foreword. It really is the most in-depth comprehensive player profile book ever published although I say so myself It retails at £35 (our print bill alone is over £30000) but if anyone wants a copy for £30 upfront (and get your name and town in the back) and you can pick it up from my place in Otterbourne, Gary's in Eastleigh or the stadium on match days then please let us know within the next 4 weeks. This is the last book in the Hagiology pipeline and it really would make the perfect Xmas present. Those interested can e mail me at Duncan@duncanholley.co.uk or go to http://www.hagiologists.com and order directly. Cheques made payable to ALL the SAINTS can be sent to 1 Park Lane, Otterbourne Hants SO21 2HY Thanks to Steve Grant for giving me his permission to use this forum, the Saints web, it's a blatant plug I know but the more books we sell privately the less the loss/risk. And thanks to all those who have helped in whatever way over the last decade it has taken to get this far. Rgds Duncan Holley, Gary Chalk and David Bull Edited 21 October, 2013 by Fitzhugh Fella including postal address and Mr Cortese no longer writing anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 Fantastic effort by you guys, hope it sells out, but not before I get mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo78 Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 The Hagiologists's effort is one of those things that separates Saints from other clubs. Can't wait to get my hands on their latest effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 I've been looking forward to this. I love my A-Z of Saints - but when Francis Benali is the most recent entry, you realise it's time to update it! :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 September, 2013 Author Share Posted 26 September, 2013 thanks Colin - I think we are slowly coming to the end of the road apart from updates. There is talk of the Magnificent 80s and as recently as today David Bull has been approached by a publisher interested in that decade. I am not sure there is such an appetite for books any more. I took a bit of a hit on Suited and Booted last year - still a few thousand away from recuperating my outlay. I printed 3000 which was too many. Still its a book that doesn't age but Mrs Holley a little fed up of boxes everywhere. Thanks for all your orders so far had a good response.

I will look forward to any project that you guys undertake. As for updates. It always seemed to me that the magnum opus that is 'In That Number' Would be ideal for updated/follow up editions on a ten year basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seemed to me that the magnum opus that is 'In That Number' Would be ideal for updated/follow up editions on a ten year basis. My thought too Colin. Let the guys get this one off the shelves first and maybe they can persuaded...?....especially as many of those involved are still around for comments /stories. . Although those intervening years weren't so glorious, it's still part of the club history and some good things came out of it, and a special page with a full size pic. of Marcus must be included..

Fan The Flames Posted 26 September, 2013 Share Posted 26 September, 2013 I'm looking forward to this new book. Can I take the opportunity to thank Hagiology for documenting the history of our club, 'In that number' is a constant pleasure and it just would not exist with out the enormous effort of the Hagiology guys. I would be all over an 80's book, that's my teenage years. I will also buy a copy of Suited and Booted to do my bit. Kind regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
