Getting Blue

New York: Delacorte Press. Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.1987). First Edition. Hardcover. 0385295235 . [beautiful copy, tight and clean, apparently unread, with no discernible wear; jacket similarly nice, bright and clean, but slightly marred by a teensy-tiny tear and small associated crease at top of front panel, and some minor bumping/wrinkling at spine ends]. A baseball novel that's ever so much more than that -- it's "about one man's life and the many lives he touches. It is about a twenty-five-year marriage and the nature and results of love; it is about friendship and the vulnerability that comes with trust; it is about a group of people who are trying to survive their dreams and the 'little tragedies' that constantly surround them." A modern classic of the genre, and for good reason. .
