None(1 Copy): Fair 034551176X Marked as 'acceptable' mainly because this is an ex-library copy with the usual stamps, markings and stickers. Hardcover with dust jacket and library mylar cover, 715 pages, Ballantine Books publishers, 2009 copyright, ISBN: 034551176X. Title: The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to The Sports Guy, author: Bill Simmons. Usually ships with delivery confirmation. Where available, a photo of the actual cover has been provided instead of a stock photo. Condition description: Ex-library with mylar cover and usual stickers, bar codes and stamps, the endpaper on the last page has torn vertically (probably from being dropped), and now the book's inner binding (the fabric) has been exposed and cracked open, the book is still fully functional and readable, but it does have a cracked spine on the inside of the book which might make it less than ideal for gift-givers, but great for bargain hunters. From the end flap: Comprehensive, authoritative, controversial, hilarious, and impossible to put down (even for Celtics-haters), The Book of Basketball offers every hardwood fan a courtside seat beside the game's finest, funniest, and fiercest chronicler.

Comments about The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guy:

This book is fantastic! I've read it twice. Bill Simmons has put together a comprehensive history of professional basketball, touching on multiple eras and all of the important players, general managers and coaches. If you're a basketball, pop culture or comedy fan, this book will be a hit!
