Beschreibung

Inscribed copy of one of the most entertaining sports books ever written. In late summer 1963, Paris Review Editor George Plimpton goes to Detroit Lions training camp and tries out for quarterback. While blessed with ideal height for an NFL QB, the then 36-year-old Plimpton doesn't snatch a roster spot from Earl Morrell or beat Night Train Lane deep. But he survives long enough to gather a terrific story. Inscribed by George Plimpton to previous owners on the title page. 362 pages, cloth. An early printing with a $5.95 original price intact on the front flap of the dust jacket and cc-r code on the copyright page. Has a bookstore stamp on back endpaper and a crease on the back flap of the dust jacket. Otherwise, minimal sign of previous use. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 014823
