Re: Richmond History Book - 'The Tigers'

Hi Rhett,

Just went down to the club and bought a copy of your book.

Had a browse through it, a fantastic achievement. Very, very well done.
It really is a very well laid out book, with not only a heap of interesting reading but, also, a great collection of pics of Tiger photos, mementoes, anecdotes & paraphernalia.

You have made a fantastic contribution to our club.
Your father should be very proud of you.

:clap
 
Re: Richmond History Book - 'The Tigers'

I'm going to go down to the club next week to renew my membership. I am very keen on buying the book.

Everyone has given it a big thumbs up. I can't wait to get my copy.
 
Re: Richmond History Book - 'The Tigers'

Hi Rhett

Just wondering when the limited Edition book is due for release and what extras it will contain, approx time will be fine.
I am absolutely hanging out to have a good read of your epic tale but am debating if to put it off for a little longer.

Look at post number 75 above on this page.
 
Re: Richmond History Book - 'The Tigers'

Perhaps every player at the club should get a copy so they can understand what people around the club are talking about when they say the 'Tiger Spirit!'....make them appreciate how great this club was/is and could be again!

Re: Richmond History Book - 'The Tigers'

My wife just rang from the book store and told me I'm getting it for Christmas(but I'm not allowed to know 'cos it's a surprise)
Now I'm looking forward to Christmas more than the kids.

For those who are asking about the limited editions- i have no idea what the time frame for them are, or in what capacity they will be available. So Whilst I can't guarantee anything if i find any news soon I will advise you.

Good answer Rhett, you will probably get two sales from me this way. :-\
 
Re: Richmond History Book - 'The Tigers'

As an aside, flicking through the book, I was surprised by the similarity in the facial expression of Roger Dean on p.153 to that of Chris Newman.

It certainly seems that Spud and Knighter did not see eye to eye on several key things.
And I am glad those opinions are out there.

Northey wasn't interviewed for the book, but having said that, it won't stop me interviewing him, for any future update of the book (not that there is one planned!)

He is an interesting character, Premiership player and later coach. I think he holds the record for the biggest gap between playing for Richmond, and then coaching them.

Cheers
Rhett

Got mine today Rhett. Fantastic looking production and I am looking forward to reading it. Can you advise why Northey wasn't interviewed - was that your decision?
