Skateboarding: Legendary Tricks
Adult/High School—This is a unique take on a how-to book with its combination of sports, culture background, and quotes from skateboarding greats. Each trick is introduced with a brief history, including its inventor, and a brief description of it. Black-and-white photos of the trick being performed and more detailed instructions of how to complete the move follow. The book does not condescend to readers, and the pictures are more interesting than the illustrations in most how-to titles. This is a strong addition to collections; it's great for browsing, for readers seeking tips and instruction, and for those interested in learning about the history of skateboarding.—Mary Ann Harlan, Arcata High School, CACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
