   I have for sale the out-of-print, 1st edition, hardcover book "Hockey Night   
   In Moscow" by Jack Ludwig (1972) with original drawings by Aislin,   
   Introduction by Howie Meeker. The edition contains 190 pages of text as   
   well as the original drawings profiling the behind-the-scenes look at the   
   USSR-Canada hockey series.   
   Front Jacket Excerpt:   
   "The most important international sporting event ever held, at least from   
   the Canadian point of view! The sportswriter, the players, the coaches have   
   all had their say. Now the whole inside story has been recorded in the   
   sharp incisive prose of the Norman Mailer of Canadian fiction and   
   journalism, Jack Ludwig, who also just happens to be a rabid hockey   
   fan...Ludwig, who followed the team to Moscow, not only describes all the   
   games and the action in Canada and Russia, on and off the ice, but also   
   delves into the whole sociological impact of bruised national pride and its   
   impact on this nation and its future. This is a book you will want to read   
   and treasure, not least of all for the superb satiric drawings by Aislin,   
   who in the space of a few short years has become recognized as one of the   
   wittiest and most acerbic artists yet to appear."   
   The 1972 "Hockey Night In Moscow" 1st edition hardcover book is in   
   excellent condition.   
   Price $30. US plus postage
