{"product_id":"you-gotta-play-hurt-9781501116629","title":"You Gotta Play Hurt","description":"From the author of Semi-Tough comes a hilarious novel chronicling one year in the life of irreverent sports columnist Jim Tom Pinch.Jim Tom Pinch is a unabashed sportswriter who has followed around and reported on too many blonde-haired skiers, basketball players with names like Potatus Fry, and Russian figure skaters who want to know how much a house with a toilet costs in America. Now he tells the story of a year of romance, cursing, bimbos, touchdowns, pandering, padded expense accounts---from the Olympics to the Indy 500 to the heavyweight championship--a year that will leave neither Jim Tom nor the wide world of sports the same. \"Bawdy, bitter, very funny...Jenkins's farewell salute to big-time sportswriting is a tell-all novel that deflates the hype around each and every event, from the Olympics to the Kentucky Derby to Wimbledon (Kirkus Reviews).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Jenkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501116629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDan Jenkins (1928-2019) was an author and sportswriter who wrote for \u003ci\u003eSports Illustrated. \u003c\/i\u003eHe was the author of more than twenty books, including \u003ci\u003eSemi-Tough\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDead Solid Perfect\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHis Ownself\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gallery Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67101471604851,"sku":"9781501116629","price":30.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_b2f0736d-71d5-4ab5-b699-e302c5b78798.jpg?v=1793708597","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/you-gotta-play-hurt-9781501116629","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
