I grew up reading the delightful sports columns of Leigh Montville, so normally I would be heartened to hear that he's writing a biography of Evel Knievel... except for the way the book is described at publishersmarketplace:
Ummm, anyone involved in the book know anything about Butte? Or is this just one of those laws, that "Western town" must be preceded by "dusty" the way a baseball pitcher's "stuff" must be preceded by "filthy"?
I'm always interested in feedback, via info at johnclaytonbooks dot com
