Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: fine. First edition. First edition, first printing. Fine, fresh, unread copy in equally fine dust jacket. hardcover. 232 pp. illustrated with color and black and white photos. Autobiography. Football icon Joe Namath provides the story of his life from his boyhood days with his family in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, his high school athletic stardom (he was offered $50,000 bonus money in his senior year to sign with the major league baseball Chicago Cubs) and his decision to attend Alabama to play football under Bear Bryant. Interwoven throughout are flashbacks to his start of his pro career with the 1965 New York Jets and his first knee surgery, and memories of the iconic Super Bowl III upset win over the Baltimore Colts (after an offhand trying to shut up a heckler that he "guaranteed" a win). Then for "Broadway Joe" there was the championship ring, the pantyhose commercials, glitzy parties, women he just couldn't turn down; there were also the torn hamstrings, broken browns, multiple knee surgeries, and weekly shots of mysterious drugs to ease the constant pain. By his last year in pro football, sprinting any distance of the field was a crapshoot. An entertaining book filled with inside anecdotes.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Three days before the 1969 Super Bowl, Joe Namath promised the nation that he would lead the New York Jets to an 18-point underdog victory against the seemingly invincible Baltimore Colts. When the final whistle blew, that promise had been kept.Namath was instantly heralded as a gridiron god, while his rugged good looks, progressive views on race, and boyish charm quickly transformed him - in an era of raucous rebellion, shifting social norms, and political upheaval - into both a bona fide celebrity and a symbol of the commercialization of pro sports. By 26, with a championship title under his belt, he was quite simply the most famous athlete alive.Although his legacy has long been cemented in the history books, beneath the eccentric yet charismatic personality was a player plagued by injury and addiction, both sex and substance. When failing knees permanently derailed his career, he turned to Hollywood and endorsements, not to mention a tumultuous marriage and fleeting bouts of sobriety, to try and find purpose. Now 74, Namath is ready to open up, brilliantly using the four quarters of Super Bowl III as the narrative backbone to a life that was anything but charmed. As much about football and fame as about addiction, fatherhood, and coming to terms with our own mortality, All the Way finally reveals the man behind the icon.…

Photograph of the first aircraft to break the sound barrier. Glossy black-and-white photograph of the Bell X-1 rocket-powered aircraft, nicknamed "Glamorous Glennis," in flight. Boldly signed by eight of the program's test pilots: Chuck Yeager, Frank "Pete" Everest, Chalmers "Slick" Goodlin, Bob Champine with "NACA X-1 pilot, 1950," John H. Griffith, Gus Lundquist, Joe Cannon, and Scott Crossfield. In fine condition. The piece measures 10 inches by 8 inches. Rare and desirable. The Bell X-1 was a rocket engine-powered aircraft, designated originally as the XS-1, and was a joint National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics-U.S. Army Air Forces-U.S. Air Force supersonic research project built by Bell Aircraft. Conceived during 1944 and designed and built in 1945, it achieved a speed of nearly 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 km/h) in 1948. A derivative of this same design, the Bell X-1A, having greater fuel capacity and hence longer rocket burning time, exceeded 1,600 miles per hour (2,600 km/h) in 1954. The X-1, piloted by Chuck Yeager, was the first manned airplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight and was the first of the X-planes, a series of American experimental rocket planes (and non-rocket planes) designated for testing of new technologies and often kept secret.…
