Semi-Tough by Dan Jenkins

Description: "Semi-Tough" by Dan Jenkins - Hardcover w/Dustjacket ($7.95 on flap) - Published in 1972 by Atheneum - 307 pages - book is in EXCELLENT condition; DJ is very good. Made into a hilarious and timeless film starring Burt Reynolds, Kris Kristofferson, and Jill Clayburgh, and recently named number seven on Sports Illustrated's Top 100 Sports Books of All Time, Semi-Tough is Dan Jenkins's masterpiece and considered by many to be the funniest sports book ever written. The novel follows the outsize adventures of Billy Clyde Puckett, star halfback for the New York Giants, whose team has come to Los Angeles for an epic duel with the despised "dog-ass" Jets in the Super Bowl. But Billy Clyde is faced with a dual challenge: not only must he try to run over a bunch of malevolencies incarnate, but he has also been commissioned by a New York book publisher to keep a journal of the events leading up to, including, and following the game. Infused with Dan Jenkins's characteristic joie de vivre and replete with cigarettes, whiskey, and wild women, Semi-Tough is an uproarious romp through a lost era of professional sports that will have any armchair quarterback falling out of his or her recliner in hysterics on a semi-regular basis. The bottom corners of the book are slightly bumped and there is some minor corner wear on the DJ incliding a 1/4" tear on the bottom of the inside back flap, and a slight musty smell, but this book is still in very nice condition.
