"I got this book for Christmas in 1994, and was fortunate enough to meet Elvis Stojko prior to the Canadian Figure Skating championships in Halifax in January, 1995. He was gracious, and gladly autographed my copy of this book. The figure skating fan will enjoy this book and its coverage of skating through the years. The new fan will enjoy learning about the figure skating disciplines, jumps and fan favorites, who are still entertaining us today in ice shows. I have shared this book with people who do not follow figure skating and it was most helpful in giving information on the who's who from skating in the nineties, and how these skaters have influenced today's skating generation. This book would make a great gift for the new or old fan alike, worth 4 stars."

• I own many, many skating books and this one by far contains the best overall history of skating. If you are a relatively new fan of the sport, you should definitely include it in your collection! It is also the least biased of the general 'coffee table' skating books -- although it is obvious that every skating author has their favorites, I never felt that Smith at any point in the book was forcing her opinions on the reader. Overall, a TERRIFIC book that should be mandatory in all "History of Skating 101" classes! )
