New York, NY, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster, 1993. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Photographs. For twelve years, from behind a desktop microphone in his study in Tallahasee, Florida, Red Barber charmed, delighted, surprised, taught and entertained millions of listeners of National Public Radio's Morning Edition. Barber's commentaries wove together tales from sports events past, his views of the current athletic scene, biblical allegories, historical references, and the lastest goings-on among the flora and fauna of his garden. Part of what made those Friday morning segments so special is that they were never monologues; Red insisted on making them a conversation with Morning Edition's host Bob Edwards - or Colonal Bob, as Red called him in deference to his honorary rank. This is Bob Edward's memoir and keepsake of that radio friendship, and an appreciation of the life and career of his partner for those memorable visits. Rescued from a hospital library closing, it has a few light stamps and a card pocket in the front. 240 pages including an index, illustrated with photographs throughout. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
