Echoed.I must take this oportunity to express my appreciation for the fantastic work Archie_Mac has done on Book Reviews here. Its not just a sign of his immense love for the game and his stature as as a very keen student of it but also a fantastic service he has provided to the fraternity here.

I must confess I havent read all of them but whenever I have done so it has been rewarding.Thanks, I sometimes wonder if anyone reads them, but I have had some good feedback, including a relative of Sam Costick contacting me, to find a copy of the book on his Great great relative
I am also very jealous of how much you get to read

Thanks NC
Yes when he wrote about his own experiences it was quite interesting

That must've been very special. The review was obviously before my time, but the subject matter's obviously of great interest to me. Please post a link.

I've got a couple of nearly written ones - good to see that people read the book reviews.It has been awhile since either of you two wrote a review for us

Only a pleasure.
Indeed, but are we talking about the same last chapter (viz. "The 1942 Ashes tour")?Yes when he wrote about his own experiences it was quite interesting

You will have more from me 'in due course' as well Archie. Just a question of getting enough time on the net - it probably needs my daughter to go away for the weekend tbh.

No I was thinking of his time overseas
Great news, what are you reading atm?

Actually I'm not reading a cricket book at the moment - most unusually for me - but I have several old(ish) books that you don't have reviews for as yet and which often turn up on sites like ebay. What about David Frith's 'Fast men' and 'Slow Men' - could that work as a two in one do you think? And I want to get hold of Michael Simkins' book 'Fatty Batter' as I keep hearing good things about it - I'll let you know.

Nabbed a copy of that last week. Not read it, yet. Stuck in Penguins Stopped Play by Harry Thompson atm. My mam says it's hilarious, though

The Frith idea would be great. I have not heard of Fatty Batter?
I picked up a copy of 'Grovel' looks okay, I will have to read it soon, just reading Ian Botham's latest bio

D'you reckon that I'd be committing a heinous crime if I scanned it in here? It's very short.Yes, I just can't remember the last chapter

I was wondering that today, funnily enough. I've just picked up 'Fatty Batter' - read about 50 pages already - and would be happy to write the review if no-one else gets there first. But what's the deal on quoting from a book? Are we in breach of copyright or anything?
