Hope this book is published soon - it couldn't come at a better time to raise awareness of our 140-year (and counting ) history.

Does Wakefield still have a half-decent bookshop? Last time I was in Waterstone's in the Ridings, I heard it was due to close. Whilst the club may not profit directly from it, a signing session somewhere local would do no harm in raising our profile a bit.

A League Express and/or Wakefield Express interview/article followed by a well publicised (League/Wakey Express, club website, etc) signing session.The clubs Ridings shop one saturday on the run up to christmas would help get punters in.
He'll sell a few books and the club an opportunity to flog other gifts, season tickets, lottery, shirts, scarfs etc, etc.

Added bonus it projects a positive story about our clubs rich history.
