Saw this on Villatalk.
I have this fantastic double set and it tells you all you need to know about the the first magnificent years of our club.
I paid the full price (John will be happy at that !!) but at THE WORKS they have a stock on sale for JUST £5.99.
Surely no Villan would miss out on SUCH a bargain !
