Point of it All...

[True Blue Sainter]

I know it's a bit of a long shot- but does anybody know any means of being able to purchase this book? Would really love to give it a good read!

Any help/direction would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Been out of print for years.

Surely it is time for a reprint?
You would be very very lucky to find a second hand copy in a sports memorabilia store.
Your best chance might be to keep an eye on e-Bay.

Or if you offer enough someone on this site might be tempted to part with their copy.
(But not me).

Thanks EM...

I might have to try a sports memorabilia store - try and scrounge a copy! When I was about 8-9 at the Saints family day at Luna Park, my dad gave me the choice of "The Point of it All" or "Heroes with Haloes". Whilst the latter is a great insight into some of our greats, I really want to learn more about the history and fabric of the club!

Will have a look online, although have kept a somewhat regular eye on eBay without much luck!

Check your local library too..if youre just after a read..

I cherish this book. Particularly since I am amongst the people in the crowd photographed on the book's fron cover

[TriColourDisciple]

Really Sainternist? I have the book too. Which one are you? It looks as though it was at Moorabbin was it?

[Sainternist]

The photo was indeed taken at Moorabbin. In 1991, if memory serves me correctly. I'm one the people pictured in the CS - the kid wearing a baseball cap, black t-shirt and waving a white flogger.

Nice one!

There's a couple of copies of it in my family, but I'd like to have my own one. What year was it released again?

[TriColourDisciple]

Excellent! Front and centre! -way to go.
Can't quite make out the player who's on the badge on your scarf. Is it Nathan Burke?
I wonder if the kid in the bottom far right corner, eating a pie with sauce, (who seems blissfully unaware of the action) is aware that, he too, has been immortalised on the front cover of 'The point of it all'

[TriColourDisciple]

Sorry, got distracted. It was published in 1992 by 'Playright publishing' -by Jules Feldmann & Russell Holmesby
Some libraries have the book on audio tape too.

Have been looking for it for ages

Last time I saw it on ebay - it went for $60

Surely this is a sign that is indeed well overdue for reprint

Why not ring Russell Holmesby. reckon he could help you.

[TriColourDisciple]

Yes saintbrat, I've listened to the audio tapes. Listened to them whilst working at my desk a few years ago. Can't remember who it was doing the reading, but I think it was an known Aussie actor.
