<p><i>Reviews for the first edition...<br />"...has much to offer about good sports writing. It has much to offer about what makes good writing in any field."</i><br />—<b><i>Journalism Educator</i></b></p><p><i>"The idea that sports writing precludes literary achievement is nonsense. One can write about sports well or poorly, as about everything else. When I was a young journalism student covering athletics for my college paper, I wish there had been so instructive a source as <b>The Sports Writing Handbook</b>. Whether the reader's interest in such a journalistic form is casual or intense, Mr. Fensch's book provides a wealth of instruction."</i><br />—<b>Steve Allen</b><br /><i>Author, Entertainer</i></p><p><i>"Even a cursory examination convinces me the book will be greatly helpful in the sports writing course I will be presiding over during the 1997-98 academic year on this campus. You can also be sure I will recommend the book to my students."</i><br />—<b>Herb Kamm</b><br /><i>California Polytechnic State University</i></p>
