European League Football
Welcome to the home of Rose Villa Publications.
We have just published the first three in a planned series of books that will preserve the history of league football in Europe.
Beginning with the first proper season after WWII, the first volume deals with the 1946 and 1946-1947 seasons.
Inside you will find Albania right through to Yugoslavia (as was) - the complete A to Y of European football.
Of course, there league tables and results from the top divisions, but this book also contains match dates for many leagues.
Plus results from second, even third levels.
And as well there are cup results, though many nations did not have an FA Cup type competition - until that is the advent of the European competition for Cup winners. 172 pages in an easy-to read font - you won't be disappointed.
Available now - post free to UK - for just £14 or £17 to European destinations.

CueSport Book of Professional Snooker
CueSport Book of Professional Snooker
The only complete history and record of Professional Snooker.
The history is written by John Dee, snooker correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, and edited and compiled by Eric Hayton editor of CueSport magazine.
This 1064 page volume contains all the results of all snooker results played, including the qualifying matches when the game went open.
The original volume is still available at the discounted price of £18, plus postage of £4.70 (this is a heavy volume, weighing 1.5 kgs packed).
Complete up to 2004.
Update
With apologies to all those who have been waiting for the updated volume, production has had to be delayed until September 2010. The main reason is that the World Amateur have taken many more man-hours checking than originally thought. The new volume will now contain all the history and stats for the last 6 pro seasons as well as leading amateur events - World, World Junior, European, Euro Junior, plus English Amateur as well.
Volume 2 will not be repeating the vast bulk of information printed in the first book, but will carry on where the first left off.
More information will appear here as soon as possible.
