Black & white photo book, Elm Park...please help

by balding_karl » 27 Dec 2012 22:34

Hi all, hoping someone out there will be able to help me out here. Can anyone remember a book of black and white photographs from the Elm Park days? Pretty sure it was the year Mick and Jimmy took charge of the club. Was not an official book per se, I think compiled by a fan, but was sold in the club shop. Think there was a picture in it of Adie Williams heading the winner against Charlton to secure 2nd place finish. All the pictures were black and white, as was the front cover.

Really want to try and track down a copy of this book, but can't even remember the title, let alone find it. Any ideas/suggestions welcomed. Thanks

Definitely not "rusting tin", book was older than that, before mad stad was built. Someone must know of it!

Yes, it is indeed A shot in the dark by Benedict Redgrove. I still have it and posted some photos from it on HNA some time ago. Great black and white shots. The cover photo is celebrating Archie's goal in the 4-2 win against Wolves in December 94.

I have a copy myself, thought I lost it during a house move but found it again last year. Published in 1995, well worth getting if you can track it down!

Benedict Redgrove is a professional photographer now I believe, least I'm sure I saw some other photos or website credited to him a while ago. If anyone knows him then perhaps ask him about availability although my guess is now it would be well out of print and another run never likely to happen.

So ebay it is then.....

Was going to buy it this morning and now it's gone. I guess if you snooze.....you lose! Anyone ever hears of a copy going or wants to sell theirs please give me a shout! Thanks again
