Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Ah yes. John Thompson ? Do You Like ?Em Then? (2006) by Stuart Archer and Bill Clark Clark Art Ltd ISBN: 9780955259104 Condition: Very Good (as sold by Crappy Old Books) There are books about football. There are books about art. And then there are books about John Thompson , Rotherham United?s most…recognisable voice, wrapped in paint, humour and northern soul. Do You Like ?Em Then? is not a glossy Premier League corporate memoir. It is not ghost-written PR fluff. It is a celebration ? affectionate, local, slightly irreverent ? of a man whose voice boomed across Millmoor and beyond. If you know, you know. If you don?t, you?re about to. Stuart Archer and Bill Clark capture the atmosphere of lower-league football culture ? the chants, the terraces, the stubborn pride of clubs that don?t have global marketing departments but do have character. Lots of it. The kind of character that comes with a microphone, a sense of humour, and a catchphrase that becomes folklore. This is football before everything became ?content strategy.? Before every stadium announcer was rebranded as an ?engagement facilitator.? Before someone decided that authenticity needed a consultant. Expect: Paintings and illustrations that feel rooted in real terraces. Anecdotes that smell faintly of Bovril and programme ink. The sort of humour that doesn?t need explaining. The title alone ? Do You Like ?Em Then? ? tells you what kind of book this is. It?s rhetorical. It?s cheeky. It?s proud. It?s Yorkshire. Condition-wise, this copy is Very Good . Clean, solid, perfectly respectable. The sort of book you could gift to a Rotherham supporter and watch their eyebrows lift in recognition. No nonsense. No drama. Just a well-kept slice of football culture. And here?s the quiet irony: Books like this rarely survive. They get bought by fans, thumbed to death, left on coffee tables, or quietly disappear into lofts. They are hyper-local, deeply specific, and therefore ? in a mass-market world ? wonderfully unnecessary. Which is precisely why they matter. Available now from Crappy Old Books , where we rescue cultural artefacts that the algorithm forgot. Do you like ?em then? We rather think you might.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition. A Fine Copy in a Fine Dust-Jacket,not price clipped with NO previous names or inscriptions present.SIGNED by John Thompson on the Title Page.This title was acquired from the Library of Northern Artist Robert Easton 1936-2023. Bob Eaton was a respected No…rthern artist whose large catalogue of work reflected a number of painting styles that mainly captured the changing industrial and rural landscapes of North East Lancashire. His early love of art saw him trained at Accrington Art College in the 1950s and following his Army Service he became a secondary school art teacher in Accrington. Bob gained a growing reputation locally for his work, but he also exhibited Nationally at the Royal Academy in London and at an exhibition of British Artists at the Louvre in Paris in the 1970s.After retiring from teaching there followed a forty year period of prolific output that coincided with an increasing reluctance to sell his work or have any interest in the business side of the art world. This period of deliberate retreat from public recognition conversely saw him in regular correspondence with a number of famous artists of the time. This thirst for knowledge was supplemented by the purchase of a diverse library of hundreds of quality art books, used by him for reference, learning and for the pleasure of reading and examining the artists' work.A prolific collector of books; a visitor of galleries and an exchanger of ideas with some of the greats of 20th century British Art. He was a lifelong true lover of his subject. Foremost however, he was also a very capable and talented practitioner in his own right, painting from hundreds of sketches made in all weathers on the dark fields and streets of his native county. Shunning the limelight that his ability probably warranted, he leaves behind him, a considerable and interesting library of books and a large catalogue of excellent paintings, hidden from the public for four decades and which exists largely intact following his death in 2023.The book has a firm binding and with no hinge weakness.Illustrated throughout in colour 4to 120pp First Edition [2006]. Signed.
