I am trying to track down a copy of the 1982 Melbourne book called  "come on the Demons it was written by Lorraine Wilson.

Trying to collect the set of that first series in 1982.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated

thank you

 

 

I've been trying to find this book too - remember we had it in the school library as a kid. My son's got the current incarnation (same author) 

you should have put it in the school bag and never looked back?. Is the author Lorriane Wilson still alive? might be an idea to get in contact with her through her facebook page or contact the book publisher.

We have it at my parents house; sadly not for sale I am afraid.

I have contacted Lorraine Wilson, she does not have any back copies at all, and the publishers are long gone.

I saw someone was looking for these on Facebook not that long ago. I saw that someone posted a photo of a memorabilia shop on perhaps Fitzroy that was owned by an ex-Collingwood player. They mentioned that that shop had a few. Not sure which teams thought. Good luck.

Oh really. Had no idea. Thanks for that

I believe that this is the book with the kid who goes to the footy with his mum and a 'tartan rug and a thermos of coffee'.

And a duffle coat with sewn on number on the back and a badge of every player on the front.

According to the above site it's available at a couple of libraries to borrow. You could always borrow it and not return it. I know what I'd do.

Just out of curiosity, can someone give me some spoilers and tell me the plot of the book?

It is narrated by a young BBO before his 'lifestyle change' and subsequent move to the manor at Romsey.
