The Story of Alex Ferguson Book FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

Who would this football book make a great gift for?

Our football history books would make a great gift for any lover of the history of football. However, the each book is designed to appeal to fans of the individual football teams. They make a great keepsake to look back on again and again.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself. 

What name can I enter in the personalisation?

Enter the name as you wish it to be printed on the book. You have a maximum of 13 characters for the first name and surname – which is optional. Please only use standard characters that may be part of someone's name. This include accents. Make sure to double-check your spelling.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
