Visually the exterior appearance is still exceptional and even internally,is also in an acceptable condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the minor faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading overall.Despite the described faults it is still an exceptional copy for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of detracting faults.                                          It's 2021 and James Haskell is at a crossroads. The glittering international rugby career that took him from New Zealand to Japan and France - including 77 caps for England - is over.At a loss,he digs deep and begins to ask the big questions.What will he do now? What is his purpose in life? Who is James Haskell? Why do people think he's a dickhead,anyway?              Reflecting on illuminating testimonies from Eddie Jones, Jamie Joseph, Joe Marler, Alex Payne, Chloe Madeley and more,James dives into some of his most memorable personal anectdotes to date.But what started out as a search for understanding and meaning soon turns into a - let's face it,sometimes warranted - chastisement opportunity,with James dierectly in the firing line.Turns out he has a lot of work to do . . .  As funny as it is outrageous,this brilliant book acts as a lesson on how (not) to retire gracefully,contend with past (mostly embarrassing) demons and move forward.
