Leuk koffietafelboek. Nu nog een koffietafel kopen.

A cracking book if you are a football fan who appreciates the aesthetic of football grounds new and old. The selection is widespread in size, style, age, beauty and location.

There are 4 short essays including looking at 4 of the more iconic grounds. Personally I would have liked a few more hence 4 not 5 star which many people would think it deserves.

A book for those who love football grounds . I lovde looking at all the great ones I've been to and all the ones I'd one day like to visit.

A little description on each ground would have made the book wonderful but still a good book to keep dipping into.

Excellent pictures. It could've been better if it contained more background stories on some obscure stadiums.
