5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Collectors edition for NUFC and football supporter,
By A Customer
This review is from: The st James's Park Encyclopedia: An A-Z of Newcastle United Fc (Paperback)
I feel that this work has been devalued in a previous review. As someone who collects/uses and researches from published football histories I have found the A-Z series invaluable. Harrison is a respected football journalist and author in the UK, and the book does cover great parts of NUFC's history, albeit in small chunks as opposed to lengthy paragraphs or full chapters. If one uses the book as it is meant then a massive amount of historical data can be gleaned from this and all the Mainstream A-Z volumes.As for there being few photographs, well, there was sufficient for this reader. After all, its a book of facts, not a photograph album. A worthwhile and thoroughly readable book, highly recommended by the British Football Press and football historians.

Top book, difficult to get hold of now.,
By Ian Oliver (Kettering. Northamptonshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The st James's Park Encyclopedia: An A-Z of Newcastle United Fc (Paperback)
Harrison is not a supporter of Newcastle, his interests lie with Leeds Utd. Yet despite this he provides a reasonable account of all the major (and lesser) events in our clubs history. I would recommend this as a definite for the shelves of any football book reader/collector. It contains dozens of illustrations, the majority of which I have never seen before. A worthwhile read.

This review is from: The st James's Park Encyclopedia: An A-Z of Newcastle United Fc (Paperback)
This book is part of a series written by the author regarding various EPL teams, and it's highly superficial. Because the typical discussion for an entry is not thorough, it really provides little insight into the history of Newcastle United. There are very few photographs. Finally, the book was issued in the mid-nineties, and it provides little of relevance to the current club, e.g., you won't find anything in the book about Alan Shearer.All in all, this book was disappointing and, in my view, not worth the premium one pays in the United States for this British issue.
