Format:Paperback
This colourful encyclopaedia will appeal to any football-mad boy or girl. Although it is a UK publication it is not especially biased towards British football and has plenty of information about players, teams and leagues from around the world. There are sections on game play, famous players, tactics, teams, the football industry and football cup competitions, including the forthcoming World Cup. To top it all off there's a glossy pull-out World Cup wall chart. What more could you want?

(What's this?)
For that football-crazy child who just can't get enough of the Beautiful Game. Simply and clearly written, profusely illustrated- it has much to recommend it. But it has dated very rapidly, and doesn't contain anything remarkable to recommend it beyond a typical football annual or any of the myriad World Cup cash-ins.
Good- but not great.

(What's this?)
With a complimentary glossy wallchart for this year's World Cup, this encyclopedia would make a superb gift for a football-mad youngster and quite a few Dads too!
With tons of great colour illustrations covering the past 140 years of our national game, profiles of key players down the years, oodles of facts, trivia and statistics, this is a thorough and stylish tome that will keep any reader absorbed for hours; also extremely handy when preparing for a pub quiz!
The book has a dust jacket, and is well bound and fairly hefty. For the price it represents excellent value.
