Ok, so Carlton Books, the publishing company that produce Arsenal’s official books are on a publicity drive and have offered us five copies of The Official Arsenal Book of Records as competition prizes.
Here is the blurb from the publisher’s website The Official Arsenal FC Football Records is the most comprehensive one-stop reference book for an Arsenal fan to own. Every single major record and statistic in the more than 100 years of the club can found within these pages, all superby illustrated with great action shots. From the legendary teams created by Herbert Chapman in the 1930s, through the Fairs Cup and double-winning squads of the 1960s/70s and George Graham's double champions of the 1980s to the Arsene Wenger era since 1996, this volume is packed with information that gives proof that Arsenal FC is truly a very special Club. As well as all of the club and player records, there is a special section devoted to 10 legends, men who made Arsenal Football Club a British institution.
It’s an annual sized hardback 160 pages thick that retails for £16.99, although you can buy it from online retailers for as little as £11.55. It’s a great flick through kind of book with many great photographs. As this exercise is a plug for Carton Books in return for their donating the prizes (a further five copies will be up for grabs in issue 240 of The Gooner out in mid-January), there are four other books they have produce recently…
