Former Mt Maunganui, Waikato United, and Wellington United coach Eddie Edge has a new book out - "Life on the Edge"

I haven't read it so can't offer anything by way of a review - I'm not sure Eddie would want me to review it - but did promise I would publicise the fact for him on this new-fangled interweb thingee.

So, it would appear to be large-format (A4) with illustrations, written in conjunction with Wellington's Michael Chadwick.

Copies are $25 and can be ordered from Eddie, 07 5753686.

Or through [email protected]

My good deed for the day, don't shoot me I'm only the messenger.

Wonder why he wasn't promoting/flogging it at the WaiBOP v ACFC match Saturday. He was there, wandering about.

^ Guess you didn't have a problem. His book could be a gem. Possibly. Maybe it's a set text at Ole already.

Eddie was selling copies at Cambridge. ...

Suppose I should have taken copies of my "Adventures in Beer" book along to sell, we could have had a little stall.

On the basis of that, definitely not worth reading then.

Life according to Eddies warped view of things, I can do without.

a lot of the world's most successful people are what normal people call 'warped' - rufer, edge, fallon, etc etc etc - all heavily criticised, but all with a certain something that bought success at one time or another

Some of JV's posts on this forum might indicate a certain warpedness.

ok, so it turns out that $25 gets you part one of four which makes this a $100 'book'

i think i'll settle for living the rest of my life not knowing what eddie edge thinks


I saw him trying to sell them off at the Mount a few weeks ago, looked reasonably small so there's the catch...

hey guys, i deleted this post!

i got the wrong end of the stick thanks to some confusing emails that i received whilst trying to purchase this book which is proving to be quite a difficult and long winded process

the book is $25 as far as i know.  problem is i received an email asking me for $100 to cover the 4 copies.  i assume they have me confused for someone who ordered four copies of the one book

They sent me 4 copies (I asked for 5) with an invoice for a hundy. Maybe they have you and me confused...!

Copies will be given away on ITZ at some point.
