Item description from seller

As new condition red boards, navy blue cloth spine and white spine lettering contained in a near fine condition color photographic dust jacket. Includes Preliminary Page (Prologue) and Foreword. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. A 1/2 inch repaired closed tear at lower jacket front edge; the jacket is otherwise in fine condition (see photographs). Signed and inscribed by the author, Roy Firestone, with thick black Sharpie/marker on the blank free first front endpaper. "Roy Firestone is the best interviewer I ever saw. That's not sports interviewer. That's interviewer, period. That includes Mike Wallace, Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, Morley Safer. Any and all of the above. There is not a superstar in sports who has not been interviewed by Roy Firestone. Some of the most delicate egos, some of the most controversial personalities, even some of the most reclusive, have consented to his scrutiny." - Jim Murray, Columnist, Los Angeles Times. "Roy Firestone has interviewed more than 5,000 famous athletes and entertainers on television, and he has zero kills to his credit. Roy doesn't attack, he converses, connects and communicates with his guests, providing the viewer with rare glimpses into their hearts and souls. Now, in this his second book, Roy takes you behind the interviews and inside the circus of sport, with his thoughts, opinions and observations of the people with whom he has interacted over the last 30 years. Firestone brings you personal anecdotes of such figures as Ted Williams, Barry Bonds, Bobby Knight, Magic Johnson, Alex Rodriiguez, Tom Cruise, Mihcael Vick, Mark Cuban.and even a few sane people. Read hilarious tales of Roy helping Cuba Gooding Jr. win an Oscar; almost having his career ruined by Bobby Knight; facing a near-death experience with Albert Belle; and encountering white-knuckle stage fright while singing the National Anthem before 60,000 football fans. Roy swears he never tries to make anyone cry, so you might want to skip the heart-tugging chapters on Dikembe Mutombo, Christopher Reeve, Bill Walton and Troy Aikman. And be warned that emotions are involved throughout the book. You'll be amazed and amused, and you might be surprised at Roy's take on such "dangerous dudes" as Warren Sapp and Ray Lewis. Take this guided tour through Roy Firestone's world as he reveals his all-time favorite interview subjects, his (shorter) list of buffoons and jerks, and his lists of pet peeves and of reasons why he just can't quit. It's a box of chocolates for the sports fan's soul, offered up from the heart, and from the best seat in the house." - from the Priliminary Page (Prologue).

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!
