From the dust jacket: "A uniquely compelling work that transcends traditional autobiography A Feel for the Game is an anecdotal and personal portrait of a man and a game that were made for each other. With two Masters Championships nineteen career PGA victories three NCAA championships and millions in earnings Ben Crenshaw is without question one of the most successful golfers of the century. But Crenshaw's relationship to his sport goes beyond his individual performances. As captain of the 1999 Ryder Cup team confronting the largest deficit in tournament history Crenshaw believed in his players and was confident enough in his study of golf history to trust his feel for the game. In a hard-fought competition that kept viewers glued to their televisions he brilliantly marshaled a team of diverse personalities and brought the Ryder Cup back to American soil. And he did it his way with grace honor dedication and an encyclopedic knowledge of how the game should be played. A Feel for the Game is Crenshaw's warm and heartfelt ode to the traditions and spirit of golf through the prism of his own life. He describes his early years learning the game from the legend Harvey Penick and takes readers through his career as an outstanding amateur to his glorious years on the PGA Tour. Who can forget Ben's tribute to Harvey throughout his inspirational 1995 Masters championship run Crenshaw sees his success as an extension of his interest in the game's greatest players and teachers Bobby Jones Ben Hogan Byron Nelson Jackie Burke Arnold Palmer Jack Nicklaus Tom Kite Payne Stewart and Tiger Woods. Every person that crosses Ben's path and every golf course that he has had the pleasure to play or design inspires him. Crenshaw's reminiscences his fascinating glimpses into golf history and his unparalleled understanding of the nuances of play make this a must-have book for every serious fan of the world's most popular pastime.".

From the publisher: "How did I become an impersonator Perhaps my mother was conceived by a Xerox machine! So how did a kid from Ottawa Canada growing up in the 50's become an impersonator No one in our family had ever been in show business. No one ever had show business yearnings. My father was a doctor. My mother was a housewife. So where did it come from I've often asked myself this question. I didn't know the answer but I did love the movies. As a boy I would go every weekend sometimes staying to see the show twice. Just going to the movies and getting so involved in the story-telling and the characters made me want to be that person up on the screen; never dreaming that I could turn it into a career. The glory days of Hollywood and their icons like no other have remained as indelible images in our hearts and minds for decades. I like many idolized these giants of the screen and comedy but was so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet work with and get to know many of them along the way during my career. From the genius of Jack Benny the unmatched humor of George Burns the debonair handsome Cary Grant the unforgettable John Wayne the king of late night hosts Johnny Carson and the former actor-turned-President Ronald Reagan to name a few. In this gem of a book are insights into the likes of many of these great people I've had the privilege and fortune to meet and imitate shining new light on our beloved stars. This is really not a biography but more of a humorous glimpse of the people I've impersonated and some of the funny stories that happened along the way." Bibliographical NOTE: There are two versions of this book. The cover art and most contents appear nearly identical. However the ISBNs are not identical and the titles are slightly different.

From the publisher: "Higher Than the Eagle Soars distills the intense essence of his Everest climb concentrating on the drama of the final climb and nightmarish descent. It is an intimate and epic account of an event that confirmed Venables as the greatest British climber of his generation." From the author: "I have been wanting for some time now to revisit the Everest climb. Although the book I wrote about it Everest: Alone at the Summit was very successful and has appeared in four different editions it conformed superficially to an expedition book telling the whole story from beginning to end with considerable technical detail. It would be good to go back and extract the intense essence of the story concentrating on the drama of the final climb and nightmarish descent making a grand finale to the book. Although Everest wasn't the end of my climbing career it was a big turning point: it had quelled the demon of ambition and I sensed that I would probably never do anything quite so extreme in the mountains. And although we didn t go seeking deliberately an epic near-death experience it did turn out that way the ultimate endurance test for which all the previous adventures seemed retrospectively to be a preparation.".

Many years later as Fosse introduced Dorothy to a touring cast about to open a show at the Shubert Theatre in Chicago he simply said 'Gang this is Dorothy Dale one of the greatest tap dancers you'll ever see'!

His sense of humour honour and patriotism combine to create a unique mixture of ingredients that lead to a total success. I flew CF104 Starfighters with Billy in Baden West Germany where he served admirably on exchange with the Canadian Armed Forces - but my foremost memory of Billy Sparks revolves around the ten minute standing ovation he received from about 500 fellow fighter pilots at the San Antonio River Rats Practice Convention when he entered the hall. Leading the ovation was Robin Olds. If you have to ask who he is - you would never understand! Many of those cheering pilots believed they owed their very lives to Billy and his Wild Weasels. All-in-all this is a superb book from an outstanding source. No one knows more about the Weasel role or about a war that while mismanaged from on high provided an opportunity for a host of men to demonstrate their courage dedication inventiveness and airmanship to the world than Billy Sparks. All the thumbs up in the world! Bravo!.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. 1st ed No additional printings listed. Softcover. Very Good condition.

The book is also part autobiographical tracing Begin's own political development. The political scientist John Bowyer Bell who studied both the Irgun and the Irish Republican Army IRA recalled that many of the IRA men whom he interviewed in the 1960s had read The Revolt and admired it as a manual of guerrilla warfare.

Timeline Chronology. Index. Bound in the original bright white boards with a blue spine lettered in shiny gold. Complete with PRISTINE dust jacket. From the publisher: "This new edition with 77 more pages includes new letters and photographs that cover the last fifteen years. The most intimate and revealing look at one of America's most private public figures. Though reticent in public George Bush has openly shared his private thoughts in his correspondence throughout his life. Fortunately since the former president does not plan to write his autobiography this collection of letters diary entries and memos with his accompanying commentary will fill that void. Organized chronologically the volume begins with eighteen-year-old George's letters to his parents during World War II when at the time he was commissioned he was the youngest pilot in the Navy. Readers will gain insights into Bush's career highlights -- the oil business his two terms in Congress his ambassadorship to the U.N. his service as an envoy in China his tenure with the Central Intelligence Agency and of course the vice presidency the presidency and the postpresidency. They will also observe a devoted husband father and American. Ranging from a love letter to Barbara and a letter to his mother about missing his daughter Robin after her death from leukemia to a letter to his children two weeks before Nixon's resi-gnation to one written to them just before the beginning of Desert Storm the writings are remarkable for their candor humor and poignancy. As the Bushes continue to emerge as a major political family this portrait of its unassuming patriarch is timely and important. That George Bush is allowing this much of the collection to be published is remarkable in itself. ALL THE BEST GEORGE BUSH provides a surprisingly intimate and insightful portrayal of the forty-first president of the United States. As the author writes in his Preface: 'So what we have here are letters from the past and present. Letters that are light and hopefully amusing. Letters written when my heart was heavy or full of joy. Serious letters. Nutty letters. Caring and rejoicing letters. It's all about heartbeat.". Signed by the Author signature only. Limited Edition #653 of 1000 copies. Hardcover.

And then there are the legions of fans who can't get enough of his scatological out-of-his-mind stand-up routines comedy specials and outrageously profane performances in such shows as HBO's Entourage and the hit documentary The Aristocrats. In his bold and wildly entertaining publishing debut he continues to embrace his dark side and gives readers the book they have long been waiting for -- hilarious and often dirty. Bob believes there's a time and a place for filth.
