Book Description
Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as villains from history, such as Heinrich Himmler, John Wayne Gacy, and O. J. Simpson. We have also published survivor stories of World War II, memoirs about overcoming adversity, first-hand tales of adventure, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a
New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.Editorial Reviews
Review
Joe Falls: 50 Years of Sportswriting might be viewed by some readers as a rambling autobiography in which the author bounces back and forth through the decades. But a better description of the book might be that it's simply a collection of the author's sports memories written in the manner of a true sports columnist -- he types whatever is on his mind that day. With a writing style that might be described as blue-collar, Falls never tried to impress anyone with the use of the English language.
No doubt Joe Falls: 50 Years of Sportswriting is a thoroughly enjoyable book because the author has thoroughly enjoyed his association with sports. Falls writes with an enthusiasm that seems to jump from the pages and keeps the reader wanting more. --WWCD Sports Book Reviews Dan Albaugh
