Gale Sayers: Star Running Back

Published July 10, 2017 | By Holly

Gale Sayers: Star Running Back
May
1973

Submitter: I believe this is an awful book because I was a tween when the movie Brian’s Song, starring James Caan and Billy D. Williams, appeared on television, and I am now of retireable age. What else besides people should really have a shelf life of 44+ years? Also, Copy 19?? Thank goodness the other 18 copies were weeded years ago.

Holly: I guess they missed copy 19 when they weeded the other 18!

    Depends on the area. Here in Chicago area it would likely be different but they might find a newer biography to replace it.
