For a long time Dewsbury Books was the best place locally to buy books on Rugby League. With its closure though, two things have happened to fill the gap. WH Smith in Dewsbury have increased their stock of books and Dawsons Books are now selling Rugby League books on Dewsbury Market (Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and at a 10% discount too).
One book they are both stocking is "No Sand Dunes In Featherstone" which includes some 70 interviews with people associated with the game in West Yorkshire. Among them are Peter Fox, Carl Gibson, Eddie Illingworth and Frank Wagstaff, all with a strong connection with the Batley club.
