Hi, ooh aah hope it arrives soon - it is going on sale in Waterstones in Greenwich in a week's time but online orders should only take about a week at most. Hope you get it soon and enjoy. One consolation - at the rate we're losing players or not signing them up to new deals - it'll be an antique by the time you get it because there will be nobody left from the team of 2011/12

Not had time to start it yet.0 -
Waiting for mine too.0

Congrats @centurion finishing a book is quite an accomplishment.

Just out of interest, is there any way to buy this book as an e-book for my Kindle without buying from Amazon? I am trying to boycott the tax avoiding bastards. Yes I know, I have a Kindle, but its three years old .0

I understand that if you have an e-reader from Barnes & Noble, you can purchase e-books from amazon and convert them so you can read them on your e-reader, therefore the reverse in theory should also be possible.

I have just finished The Charlton Men and have to say I enjoyed it immensely. Well done, Paul Breen. I'm a relative newcomer to the Charlton family and the season covered in the novel was my first as a season ticket holder. Great memories were re-lived off the pages of this first book by the Charlton resident and university manager. I think the long-time followers of the club will have an even deeper appreciation of the football side of the book. And there are lots of surprises too. I read it right after my three-hour lit exam and I have to say it stood up well and was just a good old read. Worth the sad fact I had to deal with Amazon to get it. Lots of you CL folks will love this story.1

Any update on an e-book?0

Hi, I have been away in Ireland for a couple of weeks so not been on here.
Just catching up with all the news now.
Thanks for the great feedback Blackheathcanuck - could you do me a favour and put this feedback on Amazon as well, if possible? I am hoping it will soon be in the club store and a couple more local places, so not just limited to Amazon for future readers as well.
And Prague Addick, I will email the publishers again and check on whether the e-book version is available yet. It says on the website that it is, I think.
Cheers,
Paul0 -

Good luck with getting it in the club shop. We can't even buy a programme in there.centurion said:Hi, I have been away in Ireland for a couple of weeks so not been on here.

Just a bit of info re: The Charlton Men. I've had a couple of articles/mentions in different newspapers, which some of you might be interested in.
The Irish Times story gives some background about how I came here and settled in, and the LSBU one as well.
The Huddersfield story, I suppose, is appropriate since we've played them so many times now in the last couple of seasons they are like our biggest non-London rivals. I studied there for nine months and think I only saw the sun once, but saw their stadium every day since the university's right beside it. They'd a guy called Clyde Wijnhart there at the time who was a bit like what Jimmy Floyd was to Charlton from what I hear.
Anyway here are the articles if anyone's interested.

Cheers and enjoy the England game. After last night's refereeing I think there's no point anybody else turning up but anyway, let's hope for a few good matches. And a few surprises, and better referees who give decisions to the 'littler' teams.0 -
Gave up waiting for the ebook version and have ordered a paperback copy today.0

Hi Exiled, thanks and sorry about the e-book version. All that's in the hands of the publishers. Hope you enjoy the book.0

I wonder if we will get a revamp of the shop.Bedsaddick said:

I'm looking forward to reading my copy by the pool in Turkey in August.
Back end of the season they started to sell programmes in there, might even be able to purchase dvd's next season.0 -
I was in there this week and they were doing a revamp. It is no longer owned by the club though. I guess Nike or somebody own it so they are responsible for stock. When I went in there were no books except for maybe the Derek Hales autobiography.0

Derek Hales autobiography???????0
