The book is what it is. It's no great literary master piece, but for hockey fans it's the best. I remember checking this (or a version of) this book out of my school library when I was a kid and asking my dad about the "old-timers" I saw in the pages. Someone just gave me a copy of this book for my 31st birthday and I was as excited as I was the first time I saw it 25 years ago.It covers the history of the game and pays homage to some of the great founders. So for those of you who love the game, or have a kid who does, it's a must have. I can tell you in twenty years your son will remember going through this book with you asking if you ever saw Gretzky play, more than he will the new X-box game. Certainly worth the $(...) it will set you back.
