I have just finished the book, its very enjoyable, I knew most of the things that go on behing the scenes but it still gives a good insight into the business and the journeyman trade.

I have never approved of it truth be known as I don't like a 'match' to be decided before the first bell, I do however understand the principal of the journeymen and why they do what they do.

Well done Mark, it's a great read front to back. These guys get a torrent of abuse but they're just doing a job at the end of the day. Sad to see some getting abused by money mad promoters.

Very skilled(most of them anyway) practitioners of the sport. Needed a voice and got one.

yeah, there's loads of possible names you could mention, but you have to draw a line somewhere or you have a never-ending book! I'm happy with the end product - the guys in there gave a nice balance of stories / angles on the business.

thanks for all the comments gents.

As far as paperback goes, I don't know tbh. We're still on the first edition at the mo. If it goes to second edition then they might do. But for now its just hardback and kindle...
