Book Rivalry: Wes Miller vs Dane Bradshaw

If Dane Bradshaw of Tennessee can write a book, so can Wes Miller of North Carolina! We have our first book rivarly of the pre-season. And they have something in common: They were both coached by North Carolina guys: Buzz Peterson, Matt Doherty and Roy Williams.

Wes Miller's book Road to Blue Heaven: An Insider's Diary of North Carolina's 2007 Basketball Season. The book is 256 pages long, by Pegasus books, currently available for pre-order at $16.32, with a September estimate for release. Amazon does have a pre-order price-guarantee so you can get the lowest price when it ships. The book is edited by Adam Lucas, a Chapel Hill resident who wrote four UNC hoops books.

Dane Bradshaw 's book is titled "Vertical Leap: Inside the rise of Tennessee basketball", with a foreword by Bruce Pearl. The start of Bruce Pearl era at Tennessee is now on paper for all to read. Bradshaw's book is shipping right now, it is 218 pages, and currently costs $13.57. Amazon does not have a picture of his book yet - that's why I did not post a picture below. If I can get one from the publishers, then I will add it! I'm saying this so that people don't think that I am picking on Dane Bradshaw! I don't want to get Bruce Pearl upset :) Update: Thanks to Tennessee Valley Publishing for the picture of the book.
