A collection of vintage printed materials and books, primarily dating from the 1970s and 1980s. The group includes a pictorial hardcover copy of Football is a Funny Game According to Saint & Greavsie by Ian St John and Jimmy Greaves. Also present is a cloth-bound hardcover edition of Cooking for Pleasure by Rupert Croft-Cooke, published by Collins, which retains its original illustrated dust jacket. The lot features two significant royal souvenirs: a Radio Times Silver Jubilee Souvenir Issue dated 4-10 June 1977, featuring a cross-stitch style portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II with national floral emblems, and a Charles & Diana Souvenir Issue magazine, likely published to commemorate the 1981 Royal Wedding. The collection is completed by a further unidentified olive-green cloth-bound hardcover volume. A white adhesive label reading 1080 is applied to the front of each item.
