The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Bob Greene's "Hang Time: Days And Dreams With Michael Jordan". Hero worship. "By nature a hero-worshipper, he surely found a figure worthy of adulation in basketball superstar Michael Jordan. Over the course of two seasons (in which Chicago won two championships and Jordan was twice named the Most Valuable Player in the NBA) , Greene and Jordan conversed about many subjects, but principally about the athlete's adjustment to fame; his mostly unpublicized charitable contributions; and his reaction to adverse publicity, much of it undeserved. Jordan is candid (his teammates are not his friends) , careful of his image (he always meets the media in a suit after the games) , and relatively down-to-earth" (Publisher's Weekly) . "A vivid, enlightening portrait of the world's ultimate sports star" (The Chicago Tribune) . An absolute "must-have" title for Bob Greene and Michael Jordan collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Bob Greene. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a sports classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BOB GREENE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0385425880.
