"100 Greatest Olympians from 1896" by Jim Tracy.

Nice hardcover book, printed in full colour on gloss paper. Includes dust-jacket.

Contains in-depth profiles & dramatic accounts of the feats of the heroes & heroines of the Summer Olympics from 1896 to 1980 - how, where & why they achieved their Olympic aspirations.

Each hero has a full-page writeup, with the facing full page being a giant photo.

Year of publication not stated anywhere, but I am guessing shortly after 1980 as that is where it cuts off.

In tidy, clean condition, although dampness at some stage has made a few pages stick together so tiny patches of rip appear on a few parts, but not so as to make any of the thrilling accounts unreadable.
