Both volumes of The Glow of the Game are now available as paperbacks on Amazon, as a cheaper way into the books.
The paperbacks
- Volume One: 1972–1980, 138 games, 316 pages, £24.99: Amazon UK · Amazon US
- Volume Two: 1981–1985 and beyond, 114 games, 272 pages, £22.99: Amazon UK · Amazon US
They have exactly the same pages as the hardbacks, in full colour: every game photographed from my own collection, with its specs, how to play and three facts on the facing page. They’re softcover and printed slightly smaller, at 19.8 × 27.9 cm against the hardbacks’ A4.
Paperback or hardback?
If you want the books on the shelf at their best, the A4 case-bound hardbacks go on sale here on 23 November at £48.95 each, with 10% off when you buy both. Every hardback bought from this site also comes with an instant PDF reading copy, personalised to you. If you’d rather start with something lighter on the wallet, the paperbacks are on Amazon now.
