"A Rugby Compendium" by John M Jenkins |
||||
|
Comprehensive look at English language rugby publications. This bibliography breaks down into different sections, biographies, development, coaching etc. Covers club histories in much greater detail than Dave McLaren's (New Zealand published) bibliography. Jenkins has scoured National Libraries and other institutions for information relating to rugby books. The quick view index at the back helps you find books by author, title or subject. The only drawback is that it only covers English language publications. It is an absolute MUST HAVE for the rugby book collector. Published by the British Library with illustrated boars and without a dust wrapper. This is a second-hand hardback in excellent condition |
