Here's an interesting piece from The Village Voice: "Our Favorite Writers Pick Their Favorite Obscure Books."
Pretty self-explanatory, as any good headline should be; so I'll stop here.

Today New Chapter Press releases a book I edited, "Boycott: Stolen Dreams of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games," by Jerry and Tom Caraccioli, with a forward by former U.S. Vice President Walter F. Mondale.
The book details not only the history and politics of the boycott, but profiles 18 of the athletes whose lives were changed. I'll admit I'm biased, but I can honestly say the book is a fascinating read. It was a pleasure to work on.
Two useful links: the press release; the book's Barnes & Noble page.

As a veteran of many road trips (3 cross-U.S., 1 cross-Australia, and many other partials), I have to say that I'm a fan of this story:
"3 Men Trying To Drive 48 States In 120 Hours."
