Anything for a T-Shirt: Fred LeBow and the New York City Marathon, the World's Greatest FootraceFred Lebow was a dreamer, the kind of dreamer who pursued his dream and made it a reality. And the world is still reaping its rewards."

Fred Lebow was a dreamer, the kind of dreamer who pursued his dream and made it a reality. And the world is still reaping its rewards." So begins this inspiring chronicle of a humbly born Holocaust survivor who parlayed natural marketing smarts--and vision--into a major position in recent American sports. He started the New York City Marathon, an event that transformed footracing from an elite, austere sport into a wildly applauded, attainable pursuit for all.
Forging a path across the city's five boroughs, the marathon covers a daunting 26.2-mile course. Ron Rubin's fascinating book tells how Lebow popularized the race. With a stroke of marketing wizardry he turned it into the world's largest block party: a gritty mixture of urban theater and kindly entrepreneurship. This event has honored the spirit of the moment, imbued competition with joy, and celebrated play. It put winning within the realm of every man and woman and became a race for all runners. Lebow mainstreamed the notion of marathoning into popular culture; some half-million Americans now participate in the events. Equally significant, the book describes how Lebow scored his greatest personal victory by running in the marathon he created after being diagnosed with brain cancer.Binding Type: Paperback

Great price and quality backpack. Lots of compartments. I upgraded to this from my diaper bag for outings and it is great for holding 2 water bottles, lunch box, tablet, all the things. Loved the material and color as well.

Great for carry-on bag
Color: Camel, Size: Standard 15.6 Inch
I loved this bag. I bought it to use as a carry on for a flight. It held everything I needed it to with room to spare. I didn’t not have a laptop or large tablet, but there would have been ample room for either. I carried all of my chargers, a couple of books, meds, sunglasses, a hat, an owala water bottle, snacks, and a phone. It was comfortable and ideal for traveling and stowed perfectly under the plane seat.

Love it
I really like this handbag. The pebbled leather texture looks elegant and feels good quality. It is small but still fits my daily essentials like phone, wallet, and keys.
The top handle gives a classy look, and the adjustable strap makes it easy to wear as a shoulder bag. The magnetic closure is convenient and easy to open and close.
It looks stylish for both casual and dressy outfits. I am very happy with this bag.

Beautiful, good quality, and perfect size
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I ordered in purple. I absolutely love it. It has three separate sections on the inside and one hidden pocket on the inside. It’s the perfect size to hold everything I need. It has two open pockets. I put my reading glasses in one and my keys in the other. In the middle section, I put my wallet and a small make up bag. And that leaves two other sections for other items like bills, mail, important papers, snacks, you know the really important stuff all women need. Even with items in all three pockets it doesn’t bulge or loose shape. I like the quality of the material and the color is gorgeous. The handles are sturdy with the gold accents that help keep the handles from wearing out. Super cute and I have already ordered another purse by this brand.

The exterior is crafted from high-quality, durable material that not only looks luxurious but also stands up to daily use.

One of the standout features is the comfortable, adjustable strap, which allows me to wear the bag as a shoulder bag or crossbody, depending on my needs. The hardware is sturdy and adds a touch of sophistication to the overall look.
The handbag is also incredibly versatile. Its classic design pairs well with both casual and formal outfits, making it a great addition to any wardrobe.

It’s stylish, functional, and well-made, offering excellent value for money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and fashionable handbag!
