1970 Stanford

A quick book update. Monday night I heard from a friend that her office had received an advance reading copy of the book and said that it looked great.

Real quick, the advance copy is a paperback version of the proofs used to basically work out all the printing bugs, etc., and in this case was done about a week before the final edits were completed. They print out a hundred copies or so and sent them to potential reviewers, journalists, and so forth.

It's basically the last step before the book officially comes out. By now I imagine all the real copiess, hardcover (and hopefully with all my final changes), are in a warehouse being prepared to be shipped. But I'm getting anxious to see it.

Here Stanford rallied from a 17-13 deficit in the fourth quarter with a touchdown catch by Randy Vataha from Jim Plunkett and a Jackie Brown touchdown set up by a Bob Moore reception. The 27-17 final squashed Ohio State’s bid for a national championship. Courtesy of the Tournament of Roses archives.
