About This Item
New York: Barnes & Noble, 1999. This is possibly a First Edition with no later printing history noted. This volume is in Fine condition with a Fine dust jacket. The book travels back and forth throughout the 20th Century as it records, with exceptional photographs in full color and black and white, the great sports finishes found in multi-sports history, including football, baseball, basketball, track, hockey, cycling, swimming, sailing, etc. The book is bound in black boards with die-stamped silver spine titles. I've placed the dust jacket into an archival Brodart protective sleeve. The book measures 8 5/8 by 11 3/16 inches and includes 224 pages. It would make an ideal gift for any sports enthusiast.. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Illus. by Paul Kirchner. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
