“With it being World Book Day,” Celtic Curio tweeted this morning, “Tweet the cover of any of your – favourite, first ever, currently reading etc Celtic themed books.
I’ll start with my 1st ever Celtic book I got as a Christmas present. I would study the scores and line-ups from 1946-1986 “over and over”…
Highland Paddy gave his endorsement to Stephen Sullivan’s exception Sean Fallon biography ‘Iron Man’, saying: “Best Celtic book I’ve read, and there’s been a few.” JohnnyL57 agreed with that adding his own thoughts. “Fully agree. I have never enjoyed any biography as much as I enjoyed the Sean book. I actually cried when I finished it. What a man and how well Stephen Sullivan captured the essence of his life.”
Jim Greenan gave his choices. “My all time favourite Celtic book is “One Afternoon in Lisbon” also a great read is “That Season in Paradise” (published by yours truly – Ed!) another good one, few other classics on those shelves”.
“One Afternoon in Lisbon is a classic with Pat (Woods) doing all the research Kevin (McCarra) doing all the writing. Pat first met Kevin when he was a young man doing an exhibition in the Third Eye Centre, he tells me he was taken in with Kevin’s enthusiasm and had no hesitation when asked to do it,” Jamie F revealed.
Joe Bloggs City posted his selections. “Not Playing for Celtic Author: David Bennie Published: 1995 For me, the most enjoyable book yet written on being a Celtic fan. Lots of greater Celtic books, but none capture the ins and outs of being a fan as this one does. Highly recommended.”
