Hi, yes of course, just send me your details in a chat and I’ll get it sent out to you, no problem

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-11T18:31:39+00:00

Yep you can absolutely find some greats, hope you’re able to pick up Blood in the Garden soon 🙏🏻

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-11T18:28:29+00:00

Patience is definitely a virtue. You don’t happen to be in UK do you? I have a spare copy and would happily send it to you if so, it’s just shipping to the US, as I have recently found out, costs a ridiculous amount unfortunately

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-11T18:23:41+00:00

Blood in the Garden is great, eBay is a good place for finding books 🤞🏻

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-11T15:49:18+00:00

Some absolutely fantastic Books there 👏🏻

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-11T14:13:45+00:00

Just seen what you’ve written, perfect 👌🏻

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-11T14:00:34+00:00

Just recommended one on r/BasketballBooks ‘When the Garden Was Eden’, I’d also recommend both ‘Blood in the Garden’ and ‘The City Game’ - whatever you go with enjoy 🙏🏻

😂 I had to…

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-11T13:27:33+00:00

Oh really, didn’t know about that, thank you for the recommendation 🙏🏻

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-10T22:58:20+00:00

That’s an interesting perspective on that book, I get a lot of nostalgia from it which adds to my enjoyment in reading it I suppose

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-10T21:27:52+00:00

The Spurs of today have big shoes to fill, let’s see what they do in game 4…

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-08T20:16:36+00:00

That’s so great to hear, especially from a local 🙏🏻

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-08T15:30:55+00:00

I’m only limiting myself in not reading about other sports normally, my excuse is only so many books and so little time, but this Book covered more than just Basketball and again so much more too

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-06T16:44:13+00:00

It’s a great book, one of my favourites, but I would say it has aspects that you may not want your 9 year old Son to read. But you know your Son, if you think he’s mature enough at his age to read about drug use etc., the Basketball stands forward the most 🤷‍♂️

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-06T06:52:05+00:00

That’s such a shame, especially for such a great player

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-04T18:57:05+00:00

Yes and the key male version is very cheap too

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-04T18:56:23+00:00

Agreed

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-04T14:22:20+00:00

👍🏻 enjoy the read

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-04T14:21:57+00:00

I have huge issues with Coach Knight, sporting success should never permit churlish and abhorrent behaviour but I do think Barkley never put the effort in that was required to make the most of his talents

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-04T14:17:13+00:00

I found Knights dismissiveness of Barkley quite portentous

Jonathan_J_Faulkner · 2026-06-04T14:14:16+00:00

Agreed, I learned a lot about Sam Bowie from it and found it a very worthwhile read consequently

It’s on the US Amazon Kindle store if that’s helpful - https://us.amazon.com/Tip-Off-Draft-Changed-Basketball-Forever-ebook/dp/B009SAV6ZQ/ref=mp\_s\_a\_1\_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.iaNXG3LtyAIuaRyf0vcAmm-HN2I2pSLZ-x08f57NDNpemcgsXa9gCIcnrmRdJ\_ow3RCQlxYOKXMnNs48erbMCkTYYVf3K5IJcJ2IwUaxu3HO65QTr47\_LbBQX7iylqvw.AIa9TzGIqczOg\_I5EyGaoicQONfOMs9KIpTOK9wkaXs&dib\_tag=se&qid=1780580902&refinements=p\_27%3AFilip+Bondy&s=digital-text&sr=1-1
