Jerry West's book - WEST BY WEST

On book shelves 10/19/11

Jerry West's memoir, "WEST BY WEST" is a definite must have for your Fall book collection. I have a hunch that "Mr. Clutch" won't hold back and will tell his story with the striking intimacy and candor that we'd all expect.

No holds barred. Prepare yourself because for the first time the NBA logo himself tells his story from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant.

WEST BY WEST is far more than a sports memoir: it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration.

The book was co-written with Jonathan Coleman who is the bestselling author of Exit the Rainmaker, At Mother's Request, and Long Way to Go. He is a former producer and correspondent with CBS News.
