Doesn't speak much about venues or anything but still pretty decent wouldn't buy again rather save for another olympic bid book, can't wait for Paris one to come :D The manchester one came with these vignettes and the postage stamps were 2012 (WIN haha) so yeah :D Anyone waiting on stuff?

Wow the book thing is actually a pretty good read. Talks about finances history of the games and manchesters sport history. Also talks why Manchester discusses other candidates and says Melbourne recently held games belgrade in chaos and wait for it too soon for Toronto and Atlanta 2 summer and 2 winter games in recent years (fail haha) it talks highly about Athens.

Mentions if they lose not til 08 2000 they

thought was Beijing dunno 2004 and then 2008

there's plus 1908 1948 so 2008. Close I mean

2012. Talks about how they built the first computer and fastest growif international airport in Europe.

When I say talks about if they lose I mean if Manchester loses not if athens loses.

Recieved my Paris bid book, totally awesome! Will upload photos in coming hours days etc

The Paris 2012 Bid Book as most of the recent bid books is pretty well known, as published in pdf online and shown on internet.... what is more rare is past bid book or bid documentations as the Manchester's one !!!

Beach Volleyball would have been at the base of the Eiffel Tower. A comparison to London's Horse Guards Parade venue. :P

Who cares about Banff? They didn't then and certainly don't now. Calgary was always the bid to go with, not the mountain resort of Banff with Calgary playing a secondary role.
