A landmark illustrated book celebrating the world's most famous football sticker albums by PANINI. This is the first time PANINI have ever collaborated on a book of this kind. The PANINI brand is synonymous with football trading stickers, and phrases like 'swapsies', 'shinies' and 'Got, Got, Need.' create fond nostalgic memories for anyone who has attempted to fill an album. For the first time, PANINI have granted exclusive access to their archives for this gloriously illustrated celebration of their iconic football sticker collections. A heady mix of football history and joyous nostalgia, the book is curated by PANINI and respected authority Greg Lansdowne, and showcases the most remarkable elements of every published PANINI Football League, European Championship and World Cup album. Featuring a mass of visual material that football fans and nostalgics will love - including the album cover and sticker packet designs, famous players and stickers of interest - the book lovingly explores football sticker culture.
