Would any of you happen to know where I could get my hands on copies of any of the following gaelic football books? I've tried the internet, but none of the usual websites (amazon/ebay/waterstones marketplace) have any in stock.

The Art & Science of Gaelic Football (Dr.Eamonn O'Sullivan - 1958)

Coaching Gaelic Football for Champions (Joe Lennon - 1964)

Decades of Glory (Raymond Smith - 1966)

The Football Immortals - A Comprehensive History of Gaelic Football (Raymond Smith - 1968)

Thanks for any help!

The Football Immortals was updated, and I found one in a charity shop near Sandy Row believe it or not. I actually have a copy of the original and Decades of Glory but they are both long out of print.

I personally cannot find them anywhere as my copies are knackered.

I must have read each of them 700 times.

The coaching manuals I have no idea as I was a natural and didn't need coaching.

You should give Charlie Byrne's in Galway a ring TC. They're a huge second hand book shop, have all manner of old books well known around the City for it.

Thanks for the advice lads. No joy on Gumtree, but I've emailed Charlie Byrne, so fingers crossed on something there.

They are all out-of-print, so may be difficult, but I guess each of them are the sort of thing that might just turn up in the most unlikely of places (even Sandy Row!).

Thanks again.
