Saw that headline just a few minutes ago. I actually just started reading his "Education of a Coach" today.

Truly one of the greats. The Powers That Be is certainly one of my favorites, and I just finished reading his Belichick book. A sad day for journalism.

How weird, I just bought Summer of '49 and started reading it last night. Great book so far, sad to hear this.

He spoke at my graduation. I really liked The Best and the Brightest.

One Very Hot Day is one of my favorite books.
When I first read it, I though it was a very insightful look at why we lost the war in Vietnam. Then I realized it was written in 1965!

Anyone know any good places to buy used books online? I'm looking for a copy of Halberstam's Breaks of the Game, but it's pretty expensive everywhere. Or if anyone has a copy they'd be willing to part with ...

I would say either abebooks (they've been around for a pretty long time) or Amazon marketplace--I've had good luck with both places. They are not really centrally run, but rather are sites that facilitate transactions for sellers who don't have the capacity to do internet selling on their own (often used bookstores)... |

Thanks for the advice. I checked both of those. It's something like $30 at Abe's Books and $99!!! at Amazon Marketplace.

thanks to Bill Simmons' articles on ESPN, i bought "The Breaks of the Game" used about the 1979-80 Portland Trail Blazers and the NBA on the whole. i'm really looking forward to reading that.
