FS: 1971 "A Century Of Sports" 1st Edition Hardcover Book
1971 "A Century Of Sports" 1st Edition Hardcover Book
I have for sale the out-of-print, 1st edition hardcover book "A Century Of Sports" by The Associated Press Sports Staff (1971). The editon contains 434 pages including full-color, and black and white photographs profiling the people and events in the sports world over the past 100 years. Front Jacket Excerpt: "This ambitious, comprehensive work, A Century Of Sports, has captured all of the exciting moments of it. The book covers more than 40 differnt sports, from such mushrooming spectator giant as baseball and football, to obscure pastimes such as curling and jiu-jitsu. It is liberally illustrated both in color and black-and- white. This is not merely an encyclopedia. It is the moving story of the birth of all of these sports and their development through the last 100 years. The great personalities-Babe Ruth in baseball, Jack Dempsey in boxing, Bill Tilden in tennis, Bobby Jones in golf-all come alive again in vivid accounts of each sport's evolution-its triumphs and its tribulations. The book is flavored with anecdotes concerning the great stars. The great contests and spectacles are revived. Every chapter in A Century Of Sports was done by a specialist, a staff writer of the far flung Associated Press who has lived with the sport about which he writes and who is familiar with its people and events." The 1971 "A Century Of Sports" out-of-print 1st Edition Hardcover Book is in MINT condition (front jacket poor). Price $20. US plus postage Please include your "postal mailing address" with inquiries so as I can calculate shipping charges to your destination. Thank you |
