The author is Tim Peeler, who wrote for a number of North Carolina newspapers in the 80s and 90s and now works on N.C. State's website.
Tim in an NC State grad (now sure of the exact year, but sometime in the mid-1970s).
Tim's a good writer, so I suspect this will be a pretty entertaining book about one of the most entertaining teams in ACC history. I suspect you won't have to be a Wolfpack fan to enjoy it.
BTW, Barry Jacobs has a new book either just out or coming out soon -- a scholarly look at the players who broke the color line on basketball teams in the South. I heard there's some good stuff about CB Claiborne in there.
