Steve Goodman biography

[(Anonymous)]

Good to see your on your list "When the Cubs Go Marching In" by Steve Goodman. He often doesn't get his due. You might be interested in my 800-page biography, "Steve Goodman: Facing the Music." The book delves deeply into the genesis of "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" and its semi-sequel, "Go, Cubs, Go," along with his two other less-known Cubs songs, "Dave Kingman" and the aforementioned "When the Cubs Go Marching In." This may be the Cubs' year, but if they do go to the Series, someone will have to rewrite "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request"!

You can find out more at my Internet site (below). Amazingly, the book's first printing sold out in just eight months, all 5,000 copies, and a second printing of 5,000 is available now. The second printing includes hundreds of little updates and additions, including 30 more photos for a total of 575. It just won a 2008 IPPY (Independent Publishers Association) silver medal for biography: http://www.independentpublisher.com/article.php?page=1231. To order a second-printing copy, see the "online store" page of my site. Just trying to spread word about the book. Feel free to do the same!
