No Limits, the new Michael Phelps book
The wait is nearly over for Michael Phelps fans who want an inside look at his incredible Olympics. His new book, No Limits: The Will to Succeed, will be released Dec. 9.
Publisher Simon & Schuster says the book ($26 list price) will provide "insights from the Beijing Games, the pool, and the team, giving readers an up-close view of Michael Phelps's record-breaking performance. Phelps also shares anecdotes about his family, his coach, his passion for the sport, and lessons learned from unexpected challenges and obstacles."
The 240-page book was written in a rush after the games by Alan Abrahamson, a former Los Angeles Times reporter who was part of NBC's Olympics team.
If you want a signed copy, Phelps will be at the Inner Harbor Barnes & Noble on Dec. 13, starting at 12:30 p.m. If you can't wait that long, he'll have a publication-day signing at Barnes & Noble's store at 555 Fifth Avenue in New York. (On the store's events calendar, he's sandwiched between the Jonas Brothers and former President Jimmy Carter -- quite impressive company.)
