Born Lucky...But My Life Was The Pits: A Miner's Memories

Fascinating read. Incredible career and experiences which Don has kindly shared for history.Asfordby experiences from the Superpit project are a superb read.Well done.

a very interesting book about a subject that has now gone forever hardworking men with danger ever present

Enjoyed the read nostalgic insight

It's a good read, but I must knock a couple of stars off for the printing quality. The front and rear covers are made with a low resolution photograph that really shows the poor quality of the printing. The images printed in the book look to have been printed on a home grade printer, there are streaks across some pictures and the colour fades out of some towards the edges. Also numerous pieces of text have a misprint so there's a white line through the whole line of text on a couple of occasions.

Excellent book for people that didn’t work in the mines and a recollection of miners that did

If you are into our heritage.. A must read... Absolutely brilliant

Did it in a shift and a 'doddie' LOLWell worth a read especially if you can relate and understand the terms used.Rekindled memories of names and characters from the distant past.

My Husband and father in law (Both ex miners) loved this book,bought back loads of Happy memories for them both,this would make a great Christmas present,or just buy a copy,you won't be disappointed 5* book.
