Reader's note

Enjoy another piece of classic literary history with this rare, vintage book by Barry Hines. The Milton colliery exacts its daily toll of sweat and fear from the men who grope down its dark tunnels. Beer, snooker, rose-growing in the allotment and Geoff Boycott are sacrificed to the imperatives of caving coal from the earth. A visit by the Prince of Wales only gently interrupts its well-oiled machinery - soft soap in the gents, grass hastily transplanted to the slag heap, lashings of white paint - although it is an occasion for some ripe and well-aimed humour. Just one of the many classic, collectible, vintage books available on our online used bookstore.
