Books about Leeds

[Yorkie]

There's a good new book about 'the hidden, secret histories of Leeds'. It's edited by Tom Palmer and is called THE BOOK OF LEEDS. It's in Waterstone's at the moment and is also on Amazon.There's many great stories in it, including ones from Tony Harrison and David Peace, the author of THE DAMNED UNITED. There's a good story from Tom Palmer about Leeds United in the 1980s.
