1931 The Romance of the Arsenal by Bennison Rare book

1931 The Romance of the Arsenal by Bennison Rare book

Regular price £225.00
Regular price Sale price £225.00

A Soft back original 1931 edition of The Romance of the Arsenal by B. Bennison, published by Arsenal Football Club to celebrate their 1930 FA Cup victory and first League Championship.

Why it is interesting to collectors:

  • It is a contemporary publication from 1931, not a later retrospective.

  • It captures Arsenal at the beginning of the Herbert Chapman era of dominance.

  • It is a scarce club publication.

  • The cover features Tom Parker holding the FA Cup.

An interesting point: it predates Chapman's famous change to Arsenal's kit in 1933, so it also documents the club in its earlier redcurrant shirts.

The back cover is the scarce version and not the easier to find "Eat More Fruit" version.  The middle two pages are looses but complete and there is sellotape to the spine but the book is hard to find and the condition is quite acceptable.
