	1	Frazier, Walt; Markowitz, Dan; Bradley, Bill (Foreword) The Game Within the Game Hyperion Books 2006 140130253X / 9781401302535 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Near-new condition. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 171 pages. Walt Frazier, one of the greatest guards ever to play the game, writes about "old school ball" and his ideas for reinvigorating the sport In The Game Within the Game, basketball legend Walt Frazier looks at basketball from both a historical and personal viewpoint. When Frazier first started playing the game, discipline and strategy were more highly valued than in today’s game, which he describes as having devolved into "a playground fest of dunks and threes." The old-school style of Frazier’s past emphasized substance over style, contrary to the current state of the game, where celebrity and fl ashy moves dominate. In lively and accessible language, Frazier writes about how important "the game within the game" really is. He emphasizes timing and mental skill, far more than dazzling moves, as the strengths that today’s players need to hone in order to achieve success. Frazier makes some controversial points, aimed at new basketball players. "The game within the game starts with players respecting their coaches, their teammates, and the opposing team. The Indiana Pacers had a good chance of winning the NBA championship last year before Artest erupted. They had a record of 16 wins and only 8 losses at the time the brawl occurred and were touted as the team with the best chance of dethroning the Pistons in the East. Artest had been out of control for a long time. The Pacers tried to rein him in by suspending him earlier in the season, but Artest didn’t learn his lesson. He is a product of his times. Basketball is a microcosm of life. Walking down the street today, guys want their props. If you bump into a young guy, he might go off. It’s carried over into the NBA. The guys in the league today are young and they often have a similar mindset." Price: 5.00 USD

	2	Bradley, Bill Time Present, Time Past: A Memoir Alfred A. Knopf Inc 1996 0679444882 / 9780679444886 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Near-new copy - Appears unread. Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $26.00 - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine, bright pages. 443 pages - NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - Annotation A superb memoir that concludes with an exciting vision of what this country can be, Time Present, Time Past recounts a classic American journey. Former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley speaks with affection about his small-town upbringing, traces the road he took through professional sports to public service, and vividly brings to life the world of a U.S. senator. From the Publisher During his terms in the U.S. Senate, Bill Bradley won a national reputation for thoughtfulness, decency, and a willingness to take controversial positions on issues ranging from tax reform to the rights of Native Americans. All these qualities inform this bestselling memoir, in which Bradley assesses his political career and the experiences that shaped his convictions, and looks beyond them to consider the state of the American union on the eve of the twenty-first century. Time Present, Time Past offers an intimate portrait of the day-to-day workings of the Senate: how legislation gets passed and sometimes thwarted; how money is raised and at what cost. But Bradley also writes about deeper questions: What does it mean to be an American in an age of dwindling opportunities and increasing inequality? How much can we expect from our public servants? What do we owe our fellow citizens? The result is a genuinely revelatory book, informed by intelligence, compassion, and unprecedented candor. Price: 4.98 USD
