Description

Nashville, IN: Vanderbilt University Press, 2014. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 10 1/2h x 7w. A real nice clean unmarked 480 page first edition hardcover with 1 low in number line. Dust jacket is real nice with a little wear and tear top end. A biography, based on more than eighty interviews, digs deep beneath the surface to reveal a more complicated and profound story of sports pioneering than weve come to expect from the genre. Perry Wallaces unusually insightful and honest introspection reveals his inner thoughts throughout his journey. He had gone from hearing racial epithets when he appeared in his dormitory to being voted as the universitys most popular student, but, at the risk of being labeled ungrateful, he spoke truth to power in describing the daily slights and abuses he had overcome and what Martin Luther King had called the agonizing loneliness of a pioneer..

I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
