Description: Bo Jackson and Dick Schaap, Bo Knows Bo, Doubleday, November 1990. ISBN 0-385-41620-2. Signed First Edition. Stated first edition on copyright page. Signed by Bo Jackson on full title page. The candid autobiography of professional athlete Bo Jackson describes his troubled youth, his discovery of sports, his struggle to attend college, his athletic achievements, his family life, and his success on and off the field. Bo Jackson grew up in Bessemer, Alabama, playing every sport and loving every single one of them. He talks about what it was like growing up in Bessemer along with the challenges he faced and the decisions he made. While growing older he talks about his decision to commit to Auburn University over Alabama university to play both football and baseball. After his college days he talks about his pro days and what it was like playing professional football for the Los Angeles Raiders and baseball for the Kansas City Royals along with his wife Linda and two kids, Spud and Nick. "Bo Knows" was an advertising campaign for Nike cross-training shoes that ran in 1989 and 1990. The book title Bo Knows Bo is based on this ad campaign. He is the only professional athlete in history to be named an All-Star in two major North American sports. Jackson's elite achievements in multiple sports have given him the reputation as one of the greatest athletes of all time. The book being offered for sale is very good/near fine. Book boards and text block fine, corners fine, binding tight, appears to have never been read. The only flaw (very minor!) is some age spotting on top and side of the book as indicated in my pictures, which are of the actual book being sold. Included free with the book is a 1990SCORE card displaying the famous image of Bo Jackson in football shoulder pads with a baseball bat across his shoulders, one of the most iconic sports images every created. A beautiful addition to your personal sports memorabilia collection, or a wonderful gift for Bo Jackson fans!
