The Blind Side. Signed by Michael Lewis. First Edition, First Printing. Norton. New York, 2006.

Michael Lewis is an American journalist and author. He has published several book-length works that have been adapted to popular films, including Moneyball, The Big Short, and this volume: The Blind Side. It is a study on the evolution of modern football, noting how players like Lawrence Taylor forced offenses to change their strategies to protect the quarterback. Yet the work is also a character study on one player in particular: Michael Oher, an offensive lineman who is the prototypical response to modern pass rushers. Oher’s story is told as a narrative. It became the focal point of the film adaptation in 2009. The film was a major commercial success and met critical acclaim. It starred Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, and Quinton Aaron.
