Nowitzki's career has been the subject of the book Dirk Nowitzki : German Wunderkind by German sports journalists Dino Reisner and Holger Sauer. It appeared in 2004 at the CoPress Munich publishing house under the ISBN 3-7679-0872-7. The 160-page hardcover book follows Nowitzki's beginnings in his native Würzburg and documents his entry and ascent in the NBA, and ends at the beginning of the 2004–05 NBA season.
In November 2011 the Würzburg local newspaper Main-Post published a 216-page book written by its sports journalists Jürgen Höpfl and Fabian Frühwirth: Einfach Er – Dirk Nowitzki – Aus Würzburg an die Weltspitze, ISBN 3-925232-73-7 (Just Him – Dirk Nowitzki – From Würzburg to top of the world). Both Höpfl and Frühwirth accompanied Nowitzki throughout his career from its first days and collected for the book all the interviews and photos they made with Nowitzki through the years. The book looks back on the 2011 NBA Finals but also has a strong focus on Nowitzki's relation to his hometown Würzburg and his career progression starting in Würzburg. It features insights from former coaches, family members, and friends.
