by: Fox, Timothy J. And Duane R. Sneddeker

Softcover. St. Louis MO, Missouri Historical Society, 1st, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover. Perfect binding is tight. Interior is clean. Recreates, in words and pictures, the visual and emotional impact of the 1904 World's Fair. Using over two hundred images from the Missouri Historical Society's Photographs and Prints Collection, many reproduced from rare glass-plate negatives, From the Palaces to the Pike offers a tour of the St. Louis World's Fair that has been unavailable for nearly a century. Following an introduction that explains how the park was transformed into the World's Fair, the book takes readers inside the big exhibit palaces, brings them face-to-face with "human exhibits," and transports them over the fair grounds in hard-to-find aerial views. Special chapters also provide views of the Fair's entertainment district, known as the Pike, and of the 1904 Olympic Games. After the Fair, "the palaces crumbled, the exhibits dispersed, the Pike gave way to the mansions on Lindell Boulevard, and the fantasy land was reconfigured back into Forest Park," Clean, bright copy.

The biography of one of the most controversial figures in sports: New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner For 34 years, he berated his players and tormented Yankees managers and employees.

Going Long: The Wild Ten-Year Saga of the Renegade American Football League in the Words of Those Who Lived Itby: Jeff Miller

Going Long: The Wild Ten-Year Saga of the Renegade American Football League in the Words of Those Who Lived It
by: Jeff Miller

Hardcover. NY, Contemporary Books, 1st, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, 398 pages. From its inauspicious beginnings through its improbable Super Bowl victories and its ultimate demise, the American Football League had a colorful and sometimes bizarre ten-year history that will not soon be forgotten. Going Long takes you back to that thrilling decade with the men who made the AFL--and who made it great. In this unique oral history, 170 voices come together to tell the unbelievable story of that maverick league, a rollicking tale of eight teams that refused to die. In 1959, the NFL had just a dozen teams, with only two located west of the Mississippi River. For forty years, it had enjoyed total dominance over the gridiron, tackling rival franchises and knocking them out of the game. But a revolution was coming to American football, and it all began with a man named Lamar Hunt, the Texas millionaire who desperately wanted a league of his own. With a team of enthusiastic investors, Hunt fired what he later called "the first cannon shot in what turned out to be the pro football war." It was a war that would rage on for ten rough-and-tumble years. Flavored with wild (and often ribald) anecdotes, inside stories, personal interviews, and never-before-told material, Going Long brings the incredible story of the upstart AFL to life through the words of the players, coaches, owners, and others who lived it--including Joe Namath, Mike Ditka, Bubba Smith, Roger Staubach, Pat Summerall, Curt Gowdy, and many others. Hearkening back to a simpler time in sports, this behind-the-scenes true story reveals the origins of the modern game we know today and how it all began with a fight to the death for professional football supremacy.

Hit Parade (SIGNED COPY)
by: Block, Lawrence

Hardcover. New York, William Morrow, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 295 pages, SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page. Spotless and tight copy. John Keller is everyone's favorite hit man: a new kind of hero for a new, uncertain age. He's cool. Reliable. A real pro: the hit man's hit man. The inconvenient wife, the aging sports star, the business partner, the retiree with a substantial legacy. He's taken care of them all, quietly and efficiently. Keller's got a code of honor, though he'd never call it that. And he keeps the job strictly business. "What happens is you wind up thinking of each subject not as a person to be killed but as a problem to be solved. Now there are guys doing this who cope with it by making it personal. They find a reason to hate the guy they have to kill. I don't know what's a sin and what isn't, or if one person deserves to go on living and another deserves to have his life ended. Sometimes I think about stuff like that, but as far as working it all out in my mind, well, I never seem to get anywhere." But while Keller might be a pragmatic and crack assassin, he's also prone to doubts and loneliness just like everybody else. There was a psychotherapist once. A dog. Even a woman. And though he's got Dot, his wisecracking contact and sometimes confidante, and his precious stamp collection, these days, it doesn't seem to be enough.

How to Learn Golf (SIGNED COPY)
by: Harry Hurt III

Hardcover. NY, Atria Books, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, price-clipped dust jacket. INSCRIBED BY HURT on the half-title page. Talk to any and all golfers, be they Tour professionals or once-a-month country clubbers, and you'll hear that they want to improve their game in some way. But up until now, most expert books on golf instruction have focused only on the approach advocated by a particular teaching pro or famous player; the authors usually talk about "the golf swing" or "the putting stroke" as if there is only one way to do it -- their way. With How to Learn Golf, the first comprehensive guide to contemporary golf instruction, Harry Hurt III will help you become a better golfer by identifying what type of player you really are, and which of the several leading methods are right for you and your golfing goals. Based on Hurt's sessions with all of America's top ten instructors, this book helps you choose between the two main types of golf instruction available -- error correction, which offers a quick fix for a specific swing flaw, and swing development, where the focus is on building the swing from top to bottom. Hurt provides illuminating detail on the most effective approaches to improving each aspect of your golf game: putting, the full swing, the short game, and the all-important mental game. Clean copy.

I Got the Horse Right Here: Damon Runyon on Horse Racingby: Reisler, Joseph James

I Got the Horse Right Here: Damon Runyon on Horse Racing
by: Reisler, Joseph James

Hardcover. Guilford CT, Lyons Press, 1st, 2020, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Burned out by working the baseball beat for years, in the summer of 1922 Damon Runyon was looking for a new sport to cover for The New York American as a change of pace. Having pilloried golf just a few years before, he went to Saratoga that August to sample horse racing and found that "There, right in front of him, were so many of the characters he so loved from his time covering the comings and goings of the Manhattan night crowd." This was just the tonic Runyon needed to emerge from his malaise. Runyon didn't just cover the great races and which horse won: he would get to the track days before and roam along the backstretch, speaking with the trainers, the gamblers, the rich owners, and the wise guys, many of which became model characters in his fiction and in the musical Guys and Dolls. This book collects the best of Runyon's horse racing columns to 1936, when he moved on to other beats. 391 pages, b&w illustrations. Clean copy.
