Number 9. The whole story.
Gordie Howe: Number 9 by Jim Vipond — a vintage hardcover biography of the greatest Red Wing who ever played. Black cover, red and yellow lettering, Howe mid-stride on the ice in his Detroit uniform. The cover has honest wear. The kind of book that got read, passed around, and kept.
Gordie Howe played for the Red Wings from 1946 to 1971. Four Stanley Cups. Six Hart Trophies. The man they called Mr. Hockey. Jim Vipond was a longtime sports journalist who knew the game and knew the player. This is the biography that came out when Howe was still playing — written close to the source, before the legend fully calcified.
Vintage condition — cover wear consistent with age and use. One of a kind.
