One Beautiful Season Written by veteran traveling hoops columnist Kyle Whelliston, with a foreword by Sports Illustrated's Luke Winn, this book is both a celebration of college basketball and an alternative history of the game itself. It is a study of how and why NCAA college basketball split between Davids and Goliaths in the first place, 100 years chronologized and crystallized in One Beautiful Season and one perfect Tournament. It is a 15,000-mile November-to-April journey full of hopes, dreams and heartbreak on the road to the Final Four in Indianapolis, and the story of one team that was one shot away from winning it all. http://www.onebeautifulseason.com/ en-us <![CDATA[Paperback Released, Special One-Day Shipping Deal]]> One Beautiful Season http://www.onebeautifulseason.com/releaseday College basketball is back, temperatures are down, windchills are up, and it's a perfect time to snuggle in bed with a cup of hot cocoa and a book.

The third chapter (No. 38, "Ospreyland") cuts off in the middle, right after a fan in the stands screams "you suck" at the visiting team's coach. Cliffhanger!

The store doesn't have direct web links, so search for "whelliston" in your iBooks application. It'll show up.
