Bill Russell book recommendation?
I am woefully under informed about the great Bill Russell and would love to pick up a great book for some upcoming downtime after Christmas.
I’d love recommendations from the Net54 crowd - anything you’d highly recommend? Am hoping to find something that covers the player on the court and the man off the court. Thanks for any suggestions! Jeff

The best one I have read is Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man. Tends to be pricey as I think it’s out of print, but if you set a watch on eBay you can get one around 50. My copy was stolen by my son already, lol.

That's the one. He had a much later book about himself and Red Auerbach but it wasn't very good.

Fantastic - thx all… I’m going to buy two now (the 2nd Wind book, if I can find it semi affordable) and also go up for glory)
Thx again and Happy Holidays to you all, whatever you might celebrate! (Christmas here) Jeff

You can go to abebooks.com or biblio.com to look for books. Used book sellers use both sites. On abe you can sort by lowest price to highest. They also have a good search program: By author only or including book title or part of title.
