For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from hundreds of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred outstanding works. That selection is pared down to the twenty or so very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected -- and most popular -- of its kind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuzz Bissinger selects the very best writing on a vast variety of competitive endeavors, from baseball to weightlifting, skating to demolition derby. Herein today's foremost journalists -- among them Gary Smith, Elizabeth Gilbert, Bill Plaschke, and Rebecca Mead -- throw revealing light on a pantheon of stars: Shaquille O'Neal, Bobby Fischer, Mike Tyson, the San Diego Chicken, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Stout, Buzz Bissinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618251324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618251322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.52w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2003 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/22\/2003 pg. 100","brand":"Glenn Stout","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652102648063,"sku":"9780618251322","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8da9377-d253-4e0d-888e-f1727f98f62d.jpg?v=1704214578","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-best-american-sports-writing-glenn-stout-9780618251322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
