From the Publisher:
Genuine fairytales are rare in modern sport....Reading FC's story is one of them.
When Reading won promotion to the Premiership in 2006, most critics expected them to go straight back down. Surely these small-town pretenders could never mix it with the big-money aristocrats of the world's toughest league? But the Royals proved the critics wrong in thrilling style - finishing just outside the European placings in an amazing, triumphant 2007.
"Reading Between the Lines" is the gripping inside story of how they did it, by the people who made it happen.
BBC journalist Stuart Roach was granted full access to the club's players and staff, from their first game in the top flight to the final whistle, nine astonishing months later. The result is a unique, behind-the-scenes account of a never-to-be-forgotten campaign.
Steve Coppell, John Madejski, leading players, backroom staff and fans all contribute to this fascinating, sparklingly funny and moving diary of a Season of Dreams.
