A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A humorous collection of photo-illustrations from the popular back page of ESPN The Magazine

Imagine Joe Paterno as George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life. Or Terrell Owens sitting at a table for eleven at Thanksgiving. Or celebrity dogs playing poker. These are some of the humorous images that can be found on 0:01, the satirical back page of ESPN The Magazine. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes evocative, always current, 0:01s chronicle the personalities, events, and cultural touchstones of sports, and prove just what a slightly twisted picture is worth. Organized thematically -- bad boys, animals, holidays, et cetera -- and with behind-the-scenes accounts of how the images are designed and created, 0:01 offers as many laughs as it does commentaries on the sports world. And as a bonus, the book will include some 0:00s -- shots the creative team behind 0:01 wish they had made.
