Year of the Rocket

[OV Argo]

Congrats on the book Paul, and good luck / hope it gets read lots.

I have a copy of Jay Tietel (SP?)'s book The Argo Bounce - got it back in the day - which was excellent IMO; and also a copy of Good-Bye Leo (?) - by Scott Young (Neil's dad) wasn't it (given to me by a guy who saw me wearing Argo gear in a store i worked at - he started chatting Argos and later returned to gift me the old book) ; but both are buried somewhere in a box or bin of old sports stuff since I moved and down-sized - have to dig them out, and get a copy of your Argo books (BTW - are there any other full length books on Argo history ?)

Thanks OV. The closest to a full-length history is Double Blue: An Illustrated History of the Toronto Argonauts. It was published in about 2005 by ECW Press, edited by Jim O'Leary and Wayne Parrish. I think the venture might have been supported financially by the Argo owners at the time. It has fantastic pictures and some good writing, but is not really a definitive history. Most subjects get fairly short writeups. Pix are the main emphasis.
