"This book was [written] as a tribute to a magnificent athlete. It is not, and was never meant to be a biography; rather what I hoped for was a sort of anthology of pictures, personal reminiscences, and meet stories covering the career of Steve Prefontaine. My intent was to focus on the Pre I read about and talked to while working as a writer for Track and Field News. This was to be a book about Pre the runner and legend."
