Delighted for you Eddie. And hopefully this will form part of the portfolio to finally get that museum up and running!

The virtual museum website irelandsoccershirts.com and "40 Shades of Green" book project does not have a title sponsor or any sponsor for that matter.Apart from a recent successful Go Fund Me campaign to cover the last photo shoot, the project has been totally self funded by myself.

I am very grateful to Irelands leading goalscorer and appearance holder Robbie Keane for writing the forward to the book and lending his support to the project.

The FAI have also given support and co-operation and approval to the book project. Sportsfile have also been brilliant to me in support of the book project thus far.

The book is not a commercial venture for myself personally and as of today,even if all copies are sold when published it will still cost me money to get over the finish line.

I am hoping that any of the FAI main sponsors-Three Ireland, New Balance, SSE Airtricity, Spar, Aviva , DHL , Ford Ireland , Aviva Ireland , Fulfil Nutrition ,Bank of Ireland, DID Electrical or Ladbrokes would like to come on board to help support the books production.

Or if any other corporate sponsor who is reading this post and wants to get involved as the Title sponsor to the Museum website or just the book project please get in touch.

The FAI sponsors always invoke the support and passion of the Irish football fans in their ad campaigns. This Irish fan is bringing that support and passion to this project in the hope that it will invoke the same level of support and passion from our sponsors.

Only seeing this thread now Eddie. 

YBIG will promote the book in the run up to the launch via our social media.  

can you do pre orer sales? So if say you think you'll sell more than the 250, you might bump the print to 350 and help you with the costs??

Really appreciate that Bob.Always had huge support from YBIG.

It will easily sell the 250.The reason I've limited it to 250 copies is if I don't have a sponsor I wont be able to cover personally say the costs of 500 copies or 1000 copies.

I suppose I could look into pre sales as I've already had a lot of people contact me thru the website looking to make sure they get a copy.

Part of me tho would just like to have a good build up to the launch and create some interest.If its all sold before it launches you don't really get any exposure as its no good plugging a book no one has a chance of buying!!!

I also think that having a limited and numbered print run of a smaller number of copies makes it a bit for novel😉 and might create a bit more interest about it as hopefully it would make a nice,unique and relatively inexpensive Christmas gift for the Irish fan in your family.

I'd buy one, although I'll be more inclined to wait for the full history. That will be a book every Irish fan should own.

send us a pm when closer to launch, some images of double page spread would be good

Currently just trying to get the book to print shakeyshamrock and to find a sponsor to help support its costs so no launch event as yet planned but hopefully will be able to do something small.

Some great news today on the book front.Small steps but important ones.

In the event that Ireland are involved in a World Cup Playoff in November i am hopeful that we will now be in a position to release it just before the home leg in November.

I am still hopeful of a major title sponsor of the FAI coming on board to sponsor the publication costs of the book and discussions are in progress with hopefully news early next week.

I have just had it confirmed that the book will be sold exclusively thru the FAI online shop www.faishop.com and i am very grateful to all those involved behind the scenes who helped to make this happen as every little bit of support helps greatly.

Just getting this now, brilliant work Eddie and I'm sure it'll sell out.
 
Lovely gesture too dedicating it to James Nolan, could've been any of us it happened to.  RIP.
 
Best of luck Eddie. Clap
