Biggest one recently was Vardy’s biography. There’s also Fearless which focuses on the Prem win, and From Fossils to Foxes was a biiiiiiig seller a few years back.

There's a couple of Robbie Savage ones, try "Works" bookshop, cheaper than loo roll! There was a famous Frank Worthington one if you're interested in going back that far. Has Birch had one? Tony Cottee probably though it may be 70% West Ham content.

Of Fossils and Foxes (I got the name wrong)

[fazzyfox]

Also from the title winning season, there are many many (turning into Dyche here) many books mainly from Newspaper Sports writers, some in diary form. Also Vardy biographies and autobiography.

On Hump or Two has to be read Lestah legend!!

Fearless

Got Not Got (by gary Silke - Fox Fanzine fame) is a great addition

Foxes Alphabet which is now incorporated into Of Fossils and Foxes

Birch's is ok

Tales from the Bootcamp is ok too

The Leicester City Centenary Book from 1984 with Smudger Smith on the front, you can get that on e bay

Have a look on the BlueArmypublishing site, I bought the Finally Lestah book and have been bought the Cup final book for my birthday (of course its surprise!!)

'Starting a wave' was about the early o'neill days and a pre-season tour of Norway. No idea who wrote it. 

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

I thought ‘Starting a Wave’ was about Brian Little?

I think you might be right. I can't put my hands on it at the moment. 

[PAULCFC]

I think starting a wave was written by Geoff of this parish.

[Woodpecker]

"Starting a wave" was written by Brian Little and "O'Neill : Crest of a wave" written by Geoff Peters.

[TrickyTrev Benjamin]

Starting a wave by Brian little was quite good. Part and parcel of a football what he should called it. Got Neil Lennon book, decent read but then skipped the Celtic stuff. Savage book is alright as well. Bit short though. Steve Walsh  brought one out a few years ago now. Was a decent read not amazing. Barrie pierpoint is the best book wrote on Leicester for the time he was here. 

[Vlad the Fox]

There was also the one when we left Filbert Street that I’ve got somewhere.
