About This Item

Gollancz, 1992 This is the first impression of the first edition. By December 1992 (only three months after the first impression in September 1992) the 4th impression had already been issued due very high demand. Near fine, grey boards, gold embossed gilt spine. Dustwrapper unclipped, near fine except for very mild crease at foot of spine and two miniscule pitting marks on the back. This is a book about identity, belonging, obsession; about afternoons in the driving rain and bitter cold and glorious, unforgettable goals; getting your head read in Hampstead and punched at Highbury; the dazzling skills of the gods of football and leaving your girlfriend lying fainted on the terraces because Arsenal are about to score. It's about the moments of ecstasy in one man's life. And his pain. And it's about the only true question there is: Which comes first, Football or Life? Nick Hornby's brilliant mix of personal insight and reportage. This book is not just about goals and rain and semi-final replays. It's also about suburbia, death, sex and ambition. A great read (even if you're not an Arsenal fan).. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good.

About Camden Lock Books, ABA, IOBA.

My online bookselling is Camden Lock books. I own Camden Lock Books & list books that are uncommon, in demand and may be hard to find.

My book expertise came with four years as Chairman of London P.B.F.A. , many more years of exhibiting at monthly London Rare Book Fairs & owning my own bookshops continuously since 1984.

Every book here was valued by the person who first bought it and will be just as prized by the person who buys it now from my shopping website.

I am an accredited professional & a full member of the ABA, ILAB and the IOBA, "Setting the standard. The books you want...from booksellers you can trust".

You can meet me on my stand at Firsts 2024, London's Rare Book Fair, at the Saatchi Gallery, London SW3 4RY, 16-19 May 2024.
I also am joint owner of Burley Fisher Books , an independent bookshop offering new and secondhand books.
