   Front Jacket Excerpt:   
   Only once in a generation is a sport graced by a personality who distils the   
   essence of humour, pathos, and unrefined honesty to a perfect blend. Such a   
   character is Don Cherry or Grapes as he has become known to both friend and   
   foe. Logging hundreds of thousands of miles as a minor leaguer, he played   
   everywhere from Springfield to Spokane and, somewhere in between, managed to   
   squeeze in one game in the NHL. He didn't make it as a big-league player,   
   but Grapes paid his dues in the minors and eventually became coach and then   
   manager, an award winner each time. At last his toil paid off handsomely;   
   Grapes was named coach of the NHL's Boston Bruins and bestowed upon them a   
   character and charisma few club could boast."   
   The book is signed "Hi Don Cherry & Blue' in black ball-point pen.
