Single figures of the book remain...

I am thrilled to say thank you for the fantastic response to my book offer of last week.

I am now down to single figures in copies, so if you are wanting 'In Their Own Words: Derbyshire Cricketers in Conversation' at the bargain price of £8 including postage, please read on and get in touch soon!

Starting with the only in-depth interview ever given by legendary groundsman Walter Goodyear, whose recollection of pre-war Derbyshire cricket was invaluable, the book includes interviews with such county stalwarts as Harold Rhodes, Edwin Smith, John Wright, Devon Malcolm, Geoff Miller, Tony Borrington, Alan Hill, Wayne Madsen, Graeme Welch and many more.

As the publisher puts it:

In this county history with a difference, the people at the centre of the biggest stories tell how it was from their angle. You will read:

Walter Goodyear's thoughts, for the first time in print, on several generations of Derbyshire cricket's personalities and names from the 1930s to 1980s

How Edwin Smith took 8-21 on his second appearance for the county – and was dropped!

Harold Rhodes on the throwing controversy that ruined his England aspirations – and how he became the fall guy in a witch hunt

Geoff Miller's memories of a county career that prepared him for the top job in English cricket

Alan Hill and Tony Borrington's thoughts on the fastest and nastiest of the many overseas fast bowlers in the 1970s and 1980s

Brian Jackson's smooth transition from league professional to one of the most feared seam bowlers in the country

Devon Malcolm's unusual route to the county game and the highs and lows of his career

John Wright's take on life as an overseas player, and the differences in coaching at county and international level

The transition of Peter Gibbs from stylish opening batsman to acclaimed writer

Bob Taylor's take on wicket-keeping, then and now – and his unique way of preparing his gloves

How Dean Jones abrasive leadership nearly won a championship, but lost a dressing room

How Eddie Barlow transformed a run-down club into competitive and dangerous opponents

With the season fast approaching, this is a one-time only offer, perhaps as a Father's Day present or for the cricket fan in your life. Or why not treat yourself?
