Review quotes
Praise for World Soccer Legends "These books address a largely unfilled niche: short, highly readable biographies of contemporary soccer stars. The texts are printed over and around voluminous, richly printed photographs and include many pages of scoring statistics and league standing. ... Frequent references to great players of the past—Maradona, Pelé, Cruyff, Eusebio—lend the books a welcome historical context. .... These entries are excellent."—School Library Journal
The begging was so cool. I liked it a lot.
