A Farewell to Arms, Legs, and Jockstraps

""Impossibly elegant, and the most fun ever. The only thing better than reading Diane K. Shah's memoir was, I suppose, living it.""

~Sally Jenkins, columnist and feature writer, The Washington Post

""Diane Shah was a boots-on-the-ground female sports reporter in the Cro-Magnon 1970s and brings it all back in this hilarious, well-crafted book. We get Mickey Mantle, Larry Bird, even Cary Grant. I didn't want it to end. Hoping she writes Volume Two ASAP.""

~Dan Shaughnessy, Boston Globe sports columnist and New York Times bestselling author.

"Even those of us working in Hollywood followed Diane's sports columns. Her clarity of vision, deft touch, and entertaining writing style always guaranteed the most enjoyable read. A Farewell to Arms, Legs and Jockstraps collects the best of her anecdotes and stories from throughout her distinguished career."

~Peter Guber, Owner Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Dodgers, LAFC

"Diane's memoir is just like her columns – smart, funny, enlightening - just like her. Until reading it, I never really knew all the challenges she dealt with. She broke ground but never acted like it. I was lucky to work with the first female sports columnist in the country."

~Ken Gurnick, LA Dodgers correspondent for MLB.com

"For young journalists, (particularly women) this is how their paths were blazed.  For the rest of us, an insight into how one of the great writers of her generation uniquely saw the world she covered with her gift of the written word."

~Charley Steiner, Radio Voice/ Los Angeles Dodgers.

"Former sportswriter Shah hilariously chronicles her experiences in the good old boys' world of sports reporting beginning in the late 1960s with the National Observer....Eventually, Shah became "just one of the guys" while blazing a trail for female sports reporters. Shah's earnest and witty memoir serves as an astute look into the world of sports journalism."
