"It's Not About the Bike - My Journey Back to Life" - Hardcover w/Dustjacket - Published in 2000 by Putnam - 275 pages (16 pages of great black & white photos) - both book and DJ are in EXCELLENT condition. As we all know, Lance Armstrong has won a record 6 consecutive Tours de France. There is certainly more to his life than simply riding a bicycle. Before the doping scandal, Lance Armstrong was a winner in the game of life itself: He has survived cancer, found love, and become a father. In the pages of his memoir, Armstrong tells his own moving and inspiring story, writing in his signature down-to-earth Texas style. This is an amazing tale of recovery in the face of tragedy and victory against overwhelming odds. This is the story of a journey from inauspicious beginnings through triumph, tragedy, transformation, and transcendence. It is the personal story of Lance Armstrong's life so far, from childhood through early success, nearly fatal cancer, recovery, survivorship, more triumph (victory in the 1999 Tour de France), marriage, and first-time fatherhood. People around the world have found inspiration in the story of Lance Armstrong, a world-class athlete nearly struck down in his prime, who fought back to win the world's most grueling test of cycling. "It's Not About the Bike" is the amazing story of Armstrong's long, hard climb from inauspicious beginnings through early success, near-fatal cancer, recovery, victory in the Tour de France, marriage, and first-time fatherhood. Told in Armstrong's down-to-earth Texas style, it's an unforgettable story about tragedy, transformation and ultimate triumph.  There is a sticker on the first page indicating that this book was compliments of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company Oncology but this book is still in EXCELLENT condition.
