Amazing content in this hardcover 1973 Revised Edition of the Modern Encyclopedia of Basketball, edited by Zander Hollander. Aside from the history inside, it contains over 150 signatures throughout its pages and 38 out of the top 50 all-time players named to the NBA at 50 team. Included are: Erving, Chamberlain, Russel, West, Mchale, Bing, I. Thomas, Wilkens, Mikan, Schayes, Arizin, Cousy, O. Robertson, Havlicek, DeBusschere, Reed, Barry, Monroe, Frazier, Abdul-Jabbar, Maravich, Hayes, Greer, Parish, Pettit, Archibald, Walton, Schayes, Sharman, Lucas, Unseld, Thurmond, Cunningham, Cowens, Gervin. Every autograph was obtained in person by the collector, who took trips to the Basketball Hall of Fame until 2004 to receive the signatures. As such, the book shows some wear but has been very well kept, with many of the greats of the game all in one place.
