Signed by Author Jim Perry. Octavo, green cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 134 pp. Very Good+, with small former-owner inscription; in a Very Good+ dustjacket with light rubbing. From dust jacket: Want to get out of the rat race? Jim Perry did it, giving up a good law practice, electricity, and running water, to retire to the mountains -- on borrowed money. And that was only the beginning. With the help of his hardy family and skeptical mountain neighbors, he put down roots at Sky Valley and found a whole new way of life. It was hard for a city man to adjust to the leisurely pace of the Blue Ridge folks. He had to work at learning how to "cut 'er off and whittle awhile," as his friends the Stepp brothers recommended. But whittle he did, and ended up owning 2,000 acres of scenic mountain land, wiith no mortgage. Years after his humorous tales appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, Jim Perry has picked up his pen once again, at the urging of his wife Katherine and collaborator Betsy Tice White, an old Sky Valley Music Campter, to tell the homey stories of his journey on the sometimes bumpy road to acceptance by his Blue Ridge friends.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. Third Printing [stated]. xviii, 333, [1] pages. Illustrations. Some wear and small tears to dust jacket edges. Signed by John McKay on a bookplate inside the front board. This book includes Acknowledgments and Introduction. Also includes chapters on What Coaching Demands; My Early Life; Playing and Coaching in Oregon; Recruiting; Coaching is Teaching; Relating to the Players; The Great Running Backs; The Great Trojan Teams; Notre Dame; Pain: Losing and Criticism; and In Defense of My Game. Also contains an Epilogue. John Harvey McKay (July 5, 1923 - June 10, 2001) was an American football coach. He was the head coach at the University of Southern California (USC) from 1960 to 1975 and of the National Football League's Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1976 to 1984. In sixteen seasons at USC, McKay compiled a record of 127-40-8 (.749) and won nine AAWU/Pac-8 conference titles. His teams made eight appearances in the Rose Bowl, with five wins. Four of his squads captured national titles (1962, 1967, 1972, 1974). Following the 1975 season, McKay moved to the NFL as the first head coach of the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 1976 and 1977, Tampa Bay lost the first 26 games, but improved by the end of the 1970s. The Bucs made the playoffs three times under McKay, including an appearance in the NFC Championship Game in 1979. McKay was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1988. On January 1, 2014, McKay was named the All-Century Coach of the Rose Bowl Game during the celebration of the 100th Rose Bowl Game; his son represented him in the 2014 Rose Parade. Pressure or not, John McKay loves football, and particularly college football. He has turned down half a dozen lucrative offers to coach in the pros, because he enjoys his job so much. He originally got into coaching to work with young men, to see them grow and maybe help them to develop, not just as players but also as people. This biography of Trojans coach John McKay highlights his biting wit and laid-back style, while revealing his deep understanding of the game he loves. Here, newspaper reporter and USC sports information director Jim Perry gets to the heart of what makes John McKay such a great coach and inspires such loyalty in his players.…
