Much more competitive price and format than original edition. MIND GAMES is a strong seller for Capstone. Ideal time to publish given current stock levels and an otherwise hard-to-fill month. British sport is on a high after recent successes of the Rugby and Cricket teams, and dare we say it, the prospects of the football team at the forthcoming World Cup? MIND GAMES has now matched its original revenue predictions, and the mass market edition will help extend the shelf-life of a book that was an early-mover in the sports-into-business genre and still has great currency.
Foreword by England manager of the 2003 World Cup winning Rugby team Sir Clive Woodward OBE Much more easily digestible format of strong backlist seller More prominent feature of the great endorsements and interviews from and with some of the worlds top sports icons
