Grantland Issue 2 - Hardcover

Grantland Quarterly is a collaboration between McSweeney's and Grantland, the popular website founded and edited by Bill Simmons. It features the best long-form sports and culture writing from the site as well as new print exclusives, delivered in a lavishly designed, full-color book.
