Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Reviews
"All American marathoners owe Frank Shorter a debt of gratitude for everything he has done to promote and advance our sport. As a fellow Olympian, I am proud to carry on the tradition of excellence Frank established with his outstanding performances at the Munich and Montreal games. My Marathon is a remarkable book because it not only recounts Frank's many accomplishments on the track and the road, but also because it reveals the enormous sacrifices and dedication it takes to compete at an elite level. This book, like its author, is an inspiration." -- Meb Keflezighi, 4-time U.S. Olympian "Frank Shorter is the most uncommon of athletes. His riveting, inspiring and blindingly honest story details the work ethic, discipline and torment that formed his character and made him a champion. It may have taken more courage to write this book than it did to become the world's best marathon runner--perhaps the best ever." -- George A. Hirsch, chairman, New York Road Runners, co-founder, New York City Marathon, and former worldwide publisher of Runner's World magazine, "All American marathoners owe Frank Shorter a debt of gratitude for everything he has done to promote and advance our sport.

Whether fighting 'shamateurism,' athlete doping, or terrorist strikes, Shorter acts with razor-sharp clarity. My Marathon gives us previously unavailable insight into the man, including the rampant abuse in his family, and the running boom he towered over." -- Amby Burfoot, editor-at-large, Runner's World magazine & 1968 Boston Marathon champion, "All American marathoners owe Frank Shorter a debt of gratitude for everything he has done to promote and advance our sport.

From rock bottom to Olympic champion, Frank Shorter has shown that the human spirit is indomitable. Cheated out of a second Olympic gold medal, Frank has waged a continuous campaign--publicly and privately--to ensure that other athletes are not similarly victimized. All readers will learn a lot about Frank and, in the process, learn something about themselves." -- Richard W. Pound, former president of the World Anti-Doping Agency " My Marathon is a heartfelt, illuminating and inspiring memoir that goes far beyond the 26.2 miles endured by most marathoners and travels over roads few would have had the strength to survive. Not only did Frank Shorter survive, he become both an Olympic champion and a champion for running from its infancy through the enormous growth and popularity our sport enjoys today. Instead of running away from the many challenges he has faced, Frank has run head on into advocating for what is right in sport and in life." -- Joan Benoit Samuelson, 1984 Olympic marathon champion

Synopsis
My Marathon: Reflections on a Gold Medal Life is a revealing memoir by Frank Shorter, the father of American distance running. After winning the 1969 NCAA title in the 10,000 meters during his senior year at Yale, Shorter went on to win a staggering 24 national titles on track, road, and cross-country courses, but it was in the marathon that Shorter achieved his greatest fame and recognition. At the 1972 Munich Games, Shorter won the Olympic marathon finishing more than 2 minutes ahead of the second-place finisher. Four years later, he finished a controversial second in the marathon at the Olympic Games in Montreal. The controversy, still unresolved to this day, revolved around the East German "winner" being a possible drug cheat. Shorter later founded the United States Anti-Doping Agency. Written with noted sportswriter John Brant, My Marathon details these inspiring events, as well as the physical and emotional abuse Shorter suffered as a child. This inspiring memoir is a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit and the transformative power of sports., My Marathon- Reflections on a Gold Medal Life is a revealing memoir by Frank Shorter, the father of American distance running.

    I ordered the collectors edition of this Chiltons manual. What i recieved was the correct yr of the Chilton manual but was not the Collectors Edition. I msgd Seller and informed them, they refunded me 50% of my cost and i kept the manual recieved. I m very satisfied with the outcome. I recommend this seller.

    The book I ordered from this seller was delivered ahead of schedule. It was double-wrapped to ensure no damage in shipping, and it arrived in excellent condition. The condition of this "used" book exceeded the advertised condition. Fantastic seller!

    Super fast shipping. Book is as advertised. Would recommend this seller. Only issue was, seller uses barcode stickers for inventory. The barcode sticker was stuck to the back of the dust jacket of the book. It would be better to place the barcode sticker on the plastic bag you stored the book in rather the dust jacket itself. Luckily I was able to remove the sticker in its entirety.
