Here is the fascinating, in-depth story of Cousy's life -- his tenement childhood, his drives and motivations, his little-known personal life, and his record-breaking career -- set against one of the most exciting generations in sports history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476746168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476746166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Bill Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935551062271,"sku":"9781476746166","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d3d050ef-1f60-4eec-8747-3aca176b516f.jpg?v=1681420455","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cousy-bill-reynolds-9781476746166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
