It’s a very exciting moment when that box  finally arrives, and you get to see your beautiful baby book for the first time.  When I  finally laid my eyes on this one, I realized how very proud I am of this book.  I also realized, as I went through it for the very first time, that in the end, this book is not really about soccer.  It’s about this mad passion that makes us fully human, that unites people from every corner of the globe.  And I was lucky enough to work with Alan Black, an amazing writer and partner, and that most dangerous of individuals, a man who moved to Berkeley Ca because he was too angry to live in Scotland.  It also has what I think is quite a brilliant visual component, put together by truly amazing artist, Kim Gledhill.  We really wanted to make in homage to those old-time guidebooks that Alan and I grew up reading when we were kids.  Only sharp and dark, as we like it. we were lucky enough to draft some amazing players for our team: Simon Kuper, soccer brain extraordinaire, Po Bronson, soccer fanatic par excellence,  and Irvine Welsh, internationally renowned soccer junkie. We are trying to get some traction on Amazon, and it’s a very crowded marketplace.  So if you like it, please let friends know.  If not, keep it to yourself.  I hope it’s all good for you and yours.  Xox David
