A Civil War: Army Vs. Navy : A Year Inside College Football's Purest Rivalry

A Great Topic
Army-Navy is certainly an under-appreciated game. At least it has been by me. I love college football. Not only that, I have an uncle who went to West Point and another uncle who went to Annapolis and I *still* didn't care about this game! It is because I just didn't know. I am not a big John Feinstein fan in general. I like his writing best when he is just covering facts. If he tries to ...

Changing the Meaning of Drawing
This fabulous collction of virtually every one of the most vital contemporary artist is, simply put, a must. The talent and diversity of these works are astounding and envigorating. The title "Drawing" conjures up images of simple sketches, pencil works and other trite mediums of drawing. However, these works prove that drawing, the element of art that is the product of the artist's mind ...

Caddy for Life : The Bruce Edwards Story

John Feinstein, 2005
A tale of golf, friendship and courage
Perhaps my only mistake was choosing to start reading this book the same night I had finished John Feinstein's most recent effort, "Let Me Tell You a Story," his book about the legendary Celtics figure, Red Auerbach. For that reason and that reason only, it took me a little longer to get into this one. After all, following that one is almost impossible. But this one does. It is at times funny ...

A primer unlike competitors on the market
PURCHASING FOR CHEFS: A CONCISE GUIDE is a primer unlike competitors on the market: it's directed to busy chefs and avoids the usual theory approach of culinary purchasing guides in favor of a practical quick primer with directions which can be put quickly into place. The assumption that the reader is a busy working chef is solid, and pairs realistic kitchen situations with easy explanations of ...

John Feinstein, 1989
Absolute Must Read!!!
If you like basketball, and have enjoyed the ever entertaining Bobby Knight over his years of coaching, you have to read this book. John Feinstein's writing on Bobby Knight is well done and he portrays a good image of him...well maybe "good image" is not the right wording. Regardless, it is an interesting book, and you find out how gifted Bobby Knight truly was as a coach, even if he was not ...

Susan Carol is a 14 year old from South Carolina and is a sports fanatic who seems to know everything about everyone. Stevie is a 13 year old from Philadelphia and plays basketball. In this story they ...

Red Auerbach
, John Feinstein, 2005
Well written and a wonderful read
After just reading The Breaks of the Game I was left with a sour taste of how Red Auerbach managed the Celtics during his tenure. This book changed all my thoughts. The impact that Red left on everyone around him was not forgotten, and he was a big part of many peoples lives. The book detailed what I had originally thought his personality would reflect, which was a great storyteller that held ...

A Celebration of The Maryland Terrapins
In 2002 I had the honor of working with the legendary Johnny Holliday on his autobiography, "From Rock To Jock." This detailed account of the "Voice of The Terps" life was critically acclaimed as an entertaining and significant history of broadcasting, Top 40 radio, and sports through the eyes of Johnny. We became close friends during the two years we worked on "From Rock To Jock", and this ...

Sweat Equity Pays Off
I'm not a college hoops fan, but having come from the University of Connecticut (back when winning the NIT was a big deal for us), I figured I should try to read something about the sport that has come to define my alma mater. I chose well. No, UConn is not a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the subject of this season-long profile by John Feinstein. But Feinstein gives a solid ...

Tennis Debauchery
John Feinstein is such a fascinating writer and sports critic that someone should recognize his work in some way, shape or form. "Hard Courts" is a microscopic scrutiny of the men's and women's tennis tour throughout the entire 1990 calendar year. Though a bit outdated, it is a book for all ages and all sports fans. Feinstein's writing message is as effective as his many inteview appearances on ...

Controversial Tour of the ATP Tennis Circuit
It's a nerve wracking sport played at a high level. Different in that there's an opponent standing within yourself and across the net. This excellent journalist brings his intensity, investigative style and chronicles the sports heroes at the turn of the '90s, both men and women. Many of the games stars are as high-strung as their rackets. Feinstein paints them all here.

A Season Inside
What Feinstein did for Knight in his Season On The Brink, he now does for one entire season in the world of college hoops. This book is an inside look at everything from the grueling (and often gruesome) practice sessions that go on behind closed doors to the intimate personal lives of some of college basketballs biggest stars, from the tough lives of teams and players going nowhere to an ...
