[Linsanity] New book about Jeremy Lin and last year's Knicks.

I was at a writing conference in Boston and I met a couple of guys who've started a new press called 99, as in all their books will be 99 pages. Pretty funny.

Anyway, their first book came out a couple of weeks ago, and now I found it on Amazon:

I looked through it at the conference and was pretty surprised. It's interesting. They basically collected the best work of a dozen or so bloggers and did some extra reporting bout the whole year.

Sorry if this was already posted, but I couldn't find it via search in either GARM or here. Since it's really a Knicks book, I thought it might be better here in the dish.

From one of the amazon reviews:

"If you're a Knicks fan, an NBA fan, or someone who wants a glimpse at the psychology behind fandom, buy this book. Though we Knick fans won't have Linsanity again, if we're lucky these gentlemen will come together again and make their essays on the prior season an annual publication. If the quality of this book is any indication, it'd be well worth their effort and my dollars."

 

Yeah, I noticed that. :grin: But to their credit, I think it's 99 pages of text, not including the photos, foreward, references, and acknowledgements. All those little crappy parts that a book has.

 

Yeah, actually a pretty well-known artist did the cover for them. I did notice the butt up there; I think there's some sexy in the book, and hey, I guess you can't just have a fire extinguisher.
