I enjoyed the readBy jon magnerInformative. the pictures were great. I enjoyed the read.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. a glorified magazineBy Zen Rambothis book has 4-5 pages at the beginning written by mod authority Richard Barnes. The rest are med/low quality photographs. most of which you can find online. The book is not a nicely printed coffee table-type book. its more like a program youd buy at sporting event. Definitely not worth $30+
