Sean Kelly Books

Looking to buy or borrow these two books on Sean Kelly

Kelly: A Biography Of Sean Kelly
Kelly: A Man For All Seasons

Local library hasn't got them, no luck on ebay or amazon either.
More than happy to borrow a copy if anybody has one and I'll return it immediately when read (I'm a fast reader )
I have some cycling books I can trade including 'Inside The Tour De France' by David Walsh which is quite hard to find now.

What's your local library? A search on Dublin City libraries website shows that three branches have Kelly: A Man for All Seasons. I know I saw that one in the Rathmines branch a good while ago. Your local library might be able to arrange an inter-library loan for that one. Though I know the library catalogues can be a bit hit & miss in terms of being up to date.

I have 'A man for all seasons'. you know where I am.

feck sake lads

how much are you willing to pay for the biography.;)

It's a book that was published in 1986 and doesn't cover his entire career.
But...it's hard to find and I'd still like to read it.
I'll offer E15 if you have a copy for sale.

i wouldn't sell for all the tea in china i read on another website can't recall what website that you can get up to 150euro for the book in god condition ,
unfortunately my dog chewed the inner front cover :rolleyes: but i would never sell it it's a great book and a great insight into the greatest cyclist of his time.
sorry.

Why did you reply then if you'd no intention to sell??

EDIT: found one on amazon.com for E30 including delivery, so saved myself E120......and the front cover hasn't been chewed.

Hi,

My boyfriend is a serious Sean Kelly fan and I would love to buy him the 'Sean Kelly: A Man for all Seasons' book. It would be a very special Christmas gift both for me to give and for him to receive. I would really appreciate if there's anybody out there who would consider selling me their copy. I promise it will be going to a very good home!!!

Thank you kincsem for your extremely efficient reply!! I've tried to purchase this book from the website you suggested but unfortunately there appears to be trouble processing the order successfully. I am therefore still searching for my preferred book title - Sean Kelly: A Man for all Seasons... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone will come up trumps!!!

i could lend you mine if he want's to read it over the christmas, i wouldn't sell it to be honest i have it the week it came out all those years ago.
but i reckon that would not suit you think about it.
Here you go honey read that quick it has to go back tomorrow.:D:D
i will hund around if i come up with one i'll let you know straight away.
did you try amazon .

CycleChic

I really appreciate your offer - thank you! But I'd imagine if I do ever present the book to him, he'd hand me back quicker than the book
Yep tried Amazon, £132 + postage is the best deal I can get and to be honest I'm not prepared to pay that much... I'll continue to live in hope Thanks again
