Library Idea December 16, 2002

This week's Sports Illustrated (Dec. 16) featured the 100 Greatest Sports Books of All Time.  A good resource for surveying your collection and identifying what you have and what you might need. In my humble opinion, there are a few notable gaps:

Counting Coup by Larry Colton (click for my book review) http://www.be.wednet.edu/Hs/library/counting_coup.htm
Immortal Class: Bike Messengers and the Cult of Human Power by Travis Hugh Culley http://www.be.wednet.edu/Hs/library/book_of_the_weekapril26.htm

The Concrete Wave by Michael Brooke:  An illustrated history of skateboarding, from 1959 through the 1990s, featuring interviews with some of the world's topskaters, and including true stories of the sport.
