Publications
Everton Encyclopedia
Everton Encyclopedia is a project dedicated to telling the history of Everton Football Club. The origins of the Everton Encyclopedia lie in the book of the same name published in 2012; back then, it was already a mammoth project, including articles on all aspects of Everton’s history, and more than 400 in-depth biographical entries based on original research. The project has now now moved online, expanding and updating it to ensure the Everton Encyclopedia remains the definitive reference on the history of Everton Football Club.
deCoubertin Books
deCoubertin Books is a small publishing house, founded in 2009 by the journalist James Corbett and based in Liverpool. They focus on non-fiction, particularly sport and have published some of the best books on Everton, several by EFCHS members.
