The OH got bought the Kate Chidley festival map from 2013 (year that we met) which is very sweet 

I bought my OH the 2013 Kate Chidley map too (his first Glastonbury) and he bought me the 2016 one - neither of us knew what the other was buying. I also bought him a boot jack for taking his wellies off - not that he'll need to use it in 2017 of course as it will be gloriously sunny!

Cheers @glasto-worker, I will look out for this book as well.

sometime in the 80's I saw a cracking book in a stall at Glastonbury but as I was going somewhere I decided not to buy it at that time - went back on the Sunday and the bloody stall was closed - looked the next year but could not find the stall and I have never been able to track it down - Glastonbury Festival Tales when it first came out cost about £20 so anything under that and its a bargain.

I think you missed my previous post as I do highlight that book

I ended up buying two copies .

its not that book because the book I spotted came out in the 80's - have never seen it since
so I suspect it must have been a limited print run

Not a Glastonbury book but a great book for anyone interested in the history and evolution of popular music any of the Rock Family Trees series by Pete Frame.

It's been published, revised and re-published over the years and is beautifully put together with fascinating detail.

I have "Worthy Girls" by Kate Chidley on our bedroom wall. Paid for by the money we found whilst litter picking at two festivals in 2011.

In preparation for a Glastonbury without my husband - for Christmas he got me a little tent.  I also got a camping mat and some socks (knee high, neon, striped) that will look great with the wellies I won't need to wear.

The next Glastonbury is nearly this year. Happy New Year everyone

Happy New Year to all on these forums! Don't know what I would have done without Glasto and these boards this year.

no problem - when I spotted them on sale via a Amazon marketplace company my initial plan was to buy it for one of my Volunteers who has been working at Glastonbury since 2009 - He lives in Iceland so while he was aware there was a festival he never thought he would ever get there - I had been trying to persuade him to go for years but he was dead reluctant to camp out - anyway once he tried it he loved it and then he was asking about the history so to save me time I thought it best to buy him a book but there is so many out there I was not sure what to get - so bought one copy of  Glastonbury Festival Tales and when it arrived I thought it was such a good book I would buy one for myself.

I know that he has also shared the book with Icelandic friends who have never attended
but are now looking to try and get tickets.

I don't get down to the market much now so I don't have a clue if traders are still selling books.

That really is fab guy. How long did it take you to complete?

 

On a seperate note, if it's not already been mentioned (haven't read the whole thread) then this book would make a great present for anybody who is Glastonbury mad;

http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/venetia-deardens-glastonbury-photography-book/

It's rich in photography. I bought one after being introduced to the book by the authors mother (lovely lady) when they hosted our wedding at their beautiful house.

I have a friend who's a professional fine artist in Dorset - her originals start at a few thousand pounds and go up - and she also does limited edition high quality giclee prints that start at a couple of hundred.  She also does postcards and greetings cards of some of her work which sell at sensible card prices.

Maybe consider a mix of those.
