A propos de cet article

New condition glossy color photographic boards contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Foreword by Jerry Colangelo; Preface by Lou Henson; Acknowledgments; and Epilogue by Brian Cook. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs, color photographs, plus color photographic front and rear endpapers. Light 1 1/4 inch crease at the lower front jacket edge; the jacket is otherwise in fine condition. (see photographs). "Officially endorsed by the University of Illinois." "A Century of Orange and Blue is just that - an in-depth look at the history of the University of Illinois' basketball program. Award-winning journalist Loren Tate and up-and-coming scribe Jared Gelfond recount 100 years worth of basketball tales within these pages by way of thorough season-by-season summaries and vibrant flashbacks to Illinois' greatest games. In the winter of 1906, the University of Illinois varsity basketball team netted the school's first victory in its debut game, a 71-4 win over Champaign High School. Some 100 years later, the Fighting Illini have hoisted 16 Big Ten championship banners and sent four teams to the Final Four. Over that century, Illinois has played host to its share of stars - from Johnny "Red" Kerr and Andy Phillip to Kendall Gill and Brian Cook. A Century of Orange and Blue chronicles their success stories while unveiling the 20 members of the Illini's "All-Century Team." Over 100 former and current players and coaches contributed their favorite recollections in discussing the history of this proud program. From the Whiz Kids of 1942 to the Flyin' Illini of 1989, the cast of characters in A Century of Orange and Blue comes alive thanks to a surplus of fond memories of fabulous teams and fantastic finishes. For years, the rallying cry at Illinois games has been a boisterous call and response: ILL-INI. For both longtime fans and newcomers to the Orange Krush, there is finally a book dedicated to Illinois basketball that can respond to that call - a book that can match the intensity of a packed house at Huff Gym, the exhilaration of a Kenny Battle dunk, or the swift pace of a Dee Brown fast break. A Century of Orange and Blue provides a gateway to the past. All the orange-clad fans have to do is enter." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
