Acclaimed author Hunter Davies has described it as ‘the best illustrated history of any club he has ever read’ and City supporters have acclaimed it as possibly the best book published ever about the Bantams.
David Conn in the Gardian wrote 'A History of Bradford City AFC in Objects, a new book by lifelong supporter John Dewhirst, appears not much more promising than a compulsive collection of memorabilia – but it is much more than the sum of its badges, pennants and other ephemera which the author admits his wife and three daughters would eagerly de-clutter tomorrow.
.HEREAny risk of appearing parochial is avoided by the care with which the objects are set out, the clean design and Dewhirst’s detailed explanations. It adds up to a labour of love, testament to a cherished institution and the 111 years in which it has played.' - click
