I have a limited number of hard copies of Passion Play available for sale. About two years after it was released, I bought the remaining copies from the publishing company in Chicago. I couldn’t stand to see them destroyed and I thought I could sell them by various means, so I had them trucked to my home. I sold many of them, and have fewer than 100 left.

I’ll mail a copy to you for $12, postage and handling included. The book retailed in 1988 for $16.95, so it’s a bargain. I’ll sign it for you if you don’t mind the instant depreciation.

“… a comprehensive and revealing book about the personalities churning within a college basketball team … Montieth does a superior job of looking at the demands of big-time college basketball through the eyes of the players.”

Louisville Courier-Journal

“Passion Play is good. It’s especially well-organized and well-written. The Big Ten championship chase is fun … The diversity of the players’ backgrounds is striking and even more incredible is the disparity in the motivational levels from player to player.”

Basketball Times

“Keady is a less obstreperous person than Knight, which gives Montieth the opportunity to explore the complex dynamics of the team personality. He does so with great sensitivity, displaying in the process a fine writing style. If that sounds like an unqualified recommendation, it is.”
