Amazons: An Intimate Memoir by the First Woman Ever to Play in the National Hockey League Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1980. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition, nice bright copy with minimal shelf wear in a lightly edge worn mylar-protected dust jacket, pages clean, binding tight. 1980 Hard Cover. 390 pp. "Amazons is a novel co-written by Don DeLillo, published under the pseudonym Cleo Birdwell in 1980. The subtitle is An Intimate Memoir By the First Woman to Play in the National Hockey League. The book was a collaboration with a former co-worker of DeLillo's, Sue Buck, and represents a commercial, light-hearted effort between his novels Running Dog and The Names. While the book is widely known to have been written by DeLillo, and is technically his seventh novel, it has never been reprinted and he has never officially acknowledged writing it. Additionally, when Viking was compiling an official bibliography for the Viking Critical Library edition of White Noise, DeLillo asked the publishers that the book be expunged from the list.".

 | Amazons; an Intimate Memoir by the First Woman Ever to Play in the National Hockey League New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, (c.1980). First Edition. Hardcover. Illustrated by (dj design) Robert Reed. [ex-library book, fairly well abused and shelfworn, page edges soiled, stamped on top edge and title page, ffep removed (with consequent weakening of front hinge), black marker squiggle on half-title page, small tape marks on covers; the jacket has survived in somewhat better shape than the book, with a few small tears, moderate rubbing/soiling, some surface damage from label removal near top of front panel]. Sports-hoax novel, about "a schoolteacher's daughter from Badger, Ohio, who becomes the hottest thing in hockey." The author was already well-established, with six novels published during the 1970s, although he had yet to break through to a wide readership. This book, apparently written as a kind of lark (in collaboration with another writer, Sue Buck), was published by HRW when DeLillo's editor at Knopf took a pass on it. Holt got into the proper spirit of the thing, publishing it with what a DeLillo bibliographer called "deadpan skill." They hired a hot-looking model to pose in full hockey gear for the rear-panel "author photo," and to make an appearance at the American Booksellers Association convention; the advance reading copies of the book informed the bookselling world that "Unfortunately the author will not be able to tour because she will be leading the Rangers in their pursuit of the 1980-1981 Stanley Cup.".
