The listing, Throw the Long Bomb! book has ended.

(1967) by Jack Laflin is a book born to be read under the covers with a flashlight when it's way past bedtime. I just ate up the story of Ronnie Baxter, "six feet two inches and 195 pounds of rookie quarterback," a backup with the New York Giants until fate puts him in a pivotal spot in a do-or-die game. And the cover — a sort of pigskin pointillist portrait of Baxter, No. 19, arm cocked, ready to make a crucial pass while defensive linemen rush at him with murder in their eyes — is terrific. You can practically hear the mighty clack as bodies fly at each other at top speed and pads and helmet collide." Chicago Trib.
