    The Hawthorns history book

    45 quid. Nice idea but Why oh Why doesnt anyone do editing these days? Theres a sample on the website mentioning someone wanting to get on the itch (Pitch). Honestly. Check your pages! Especially if it’s 45 quid.

    Someone as already given it a right 'panning' due to its mistakes

    This book is so full of mistakes that it is beyond a joke.
    “I have read thousands of football books, this is the worst and most inaccurate”
    Mistake after mistake-
    One star for the audacity to publish!

    That's a great shame that it hasn't been properly proof read.
    Hopefully they can correct the mistakes and reissue, I've read that pre orders will have customers names printed in the book as well as being able to purchase copies signed by some ex players.

    Try finding a channel on YouTube that is NOT AI today.
    It is amazing how quickly it has taken over.

    Its obvious if you had to do things properly. I ran a charity and was a public speaker for many years plus being a musician you have to get lyrics right etc. You go over everything a number of times. If you are producing a book it used to be a given to edit.
