Although not about the Dons, Harry Pearson’s The Far Corner (mid-90s) is a superb fitba book, based on his travels around NE England’s minor fitba.
The follow-up, The Farther Corner, which seems to have been around for a year, is apparently just as good.
Tax-evading capitalist dogs Amazon are knocking it out for 99p just now (Kindle edition), and we can collectively dismantle their particularly exploitative strain of capitalism from the inside by buying at that price. Er…maybe.
Former director and Top Red Chris Gavin?s book is out now. It tells the history of the grounds in the city where the Dons and our ancestors played before Pittodrie became our ain midden. The chronicle of the development of Pittodrie from its original inception to the magnificence of its current state is spellbindingly interesting. It?s impeccably proof-read too, I am told. ;)
Get it here, and consider the other purchases on offer too.

Well done to the AFC Heritage Trust for adding (almost literally) further grouting to the backstory of the universe?s finest club.
Drop by the AFCHT?s revamped website too, to quell the Christmas party fecht about who scored in That Game Against Arbroath in 1979.

Aberdeen's Golden Era by Kevin Stirling
Superb reading and still manages to throw in little pieces of info that I had never heard before.
He used to post on here many moons ago. Bring back the old site SiBo you insufferable c*nt
I was thinking recently that an excellent book about the Dons would be one covering the last 25 years (since the year 2000).
Painful though it would be to relive some of those days, it would be a heck of an interesting read.
Would need to come with a guide in how to cope with PTSD.Quote:

I did recognise one of the names in the acknowledgements. Good luck with the launch.
