Bibliography

[edit]

All the sources reporting his death state that he wrote 14 books. Walker's CV on his own website says the same, see page 10 of this PDF. But the records with the national library also show he co-authored the following books:

  • Hooked on Cricket (1989), with Ken Piesse, ISBN: 0333501616[1]
  • Cricket Jokes (1998), with Brian Doyle, ISBN: 1864489537[2]
  • Max Walker's Favourite Cricket Stories (1998), with Ken Piesse, ISBN: 186436422X[3]
  • Football Jokes (1999), with Brian Doyle, ISBN: 1865080187[4]
  • Strangers in Paradise (2003), with Barrie Cooper and Mike Lester, ISBN: 0646426966[5]

I happen to own the two joke books. Walker listed them on his website, but as I said above, not on his official CV. They are small books, about twice the size of a credit card, so perhaps they do not count as "real books". The others I do not know, but appear to be proper books. Should they be listed in the bibliography? There's also a computer game and a couple of board games that he made. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:35, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
