Councillor Promfret said: “The books of condolence represent the great sadness that enveloped not only this city, but the footballing world, when the news came through that Sir Tom had passed away.
“Now those wonderful comments, memories and tributes to Sir Tom can be treasured by his family forever. Thank you to Brian and his sister Barbara for accepting them on behalf of the family.
“I would also like to thank Sanderson’s of Preston who have done a brilliant job with the leather binding and the books are a magnificent homage to the man and the legend that was Sir Tom Finney.”
