BrightLight Books operates multiple stores and we invite you to browse the inventory of those stores here, at BrightLightBooks.com. Each store ships online orders independently, so if you would like to take advantage of our free shipping offers, you'll need to take note of which stores have the items you are interested in.

For example, if you have $25 or more items from Fern Park on your order, and a single $5.99 item from RTS Oveido, the item from our RTS Oveido store would incur a $4.99 shipping charge.

Similarly, if you have an order that is less than $25 from two stores, you would incur two $4.99 shipping charges.

Your current order breaks down as follows:

Item Conditions

It's very important to us that you are happy with the condition of every item you receive. We try to describe every item briefly but accurately. Here are our guidelines:

• Brand New:

  A brand-new item is an unused item in its original packaging that we have ordered either from the publisher or from a wholesale distributor.

• Like New:

  A like-new item is an item in essentially brand new condition.

• Very Good:

  A very good item is a used item with normal but limited used-item wear. The item is complete and unmarked but might have some minimal curling or bumping of corners, some small tears in the dustjacket, or a previous owner's name on the front end page.

• Good:

  A good item is a used item that will have moderate wear that might include:
  
      • a torn or missing dustjacket
      • hightlighting or underlining 20% or less
      • spotting on page edges
      • inscription on the front end page
      • creasing on spine
  
  These flaws will be noted in its description details.

• Acceptable:

  An acceptable item is a used item that is heavy wear that might include:
  
      • a missing or very worn/torn dustjacket
      • hightlighting or underlining more than 20%
      • heavy spotting on page edges
      • inscription on the front end page
      • heavy creasing on spine
  
  The flaws will be noted in an item's description details.

• Withdrawn Library:

  BrightLight Books buys and recycles withdrawn library items. These items will have clear, plastic dustjacket covers taped down and spine stickers typical of library-circulated items. But they will be in at least Good to Very Good condition unless otherwise noted.

About the Book

The must-read sports book of the year, Three Nights in August captures the strategic and emotional complexities of baseball's quintessential form, the three-game series. As the St. Louis Cardinals battle their archrival Chicago Cubs for first place, we watch from the dugout through the eyes of legendary manager Tony La Russa, considered by many to be the shrewdest mind in the game today. In his twenty-seven years of managing, La Russa has won more games than any current manager and has been named Manager of the Year a record five times. A great leader, he's built his success on the conviction that ballgames are won not only by the numbers but also by the hearts and minds of those who play. Drawing on unprecedented access to a major league manager and his team, Buzz Bissinger brings a revelatory intimacy to baseball and offers some surprising observations on the psychology of the clutch, the eccentricities of players, the rise of video, and the complex art of retaliation when a batter is hit by a pitch.
