"This book has more meat and is more suitable to more extensive research. Highly recommened for all libraries."- Sources, "Offers a statistical narrative of the development of the events from 1896 to the present."- Fort Pierce Tribune, FL February 13, 2005, "A well written and organized volume on the history of the modern Olympic movement. Recommended for all academic reference collections covering sports and general collections of public libraries." Reference Book Review, "Offers a statistical narrative of the development of the events from 1896 to the present." Fort Pierce Tribune, FL February 13, 2005, "This book has more meat and is more suitable to more extensive research. Highly recommened for all libraries." Sources, "This volume is compact and full of authoritative information and useful information about this Summer's games. Findling and Pelle's volume offers authoritative essays about each of the Olympic Games with highlighting the evolution of the sport and the geopolitical and cultural influences of the events."- The Reader's Review, "This 'dictionary' is a comprehensive reference on the Olympic Games, from the ancient Games that began in 776 BCE to the modern Summer Games (to be held in Sydney in 2000) and the Winter Games of 1998 (to be in Nagano, Japan). In contrast to the usual Olympic books that emphasize winners and medal counts, the editors stress that this collection describes each game's celebration in a 'historical context.'...A book to be read and savored. All levels." Choice, "...extensive information on each Olympiad and is especially useful for information on the politics of the games. Larger libraries will want it both for its in-depth information on each modern Olympic game and its valuable appendix of Olympic cinema history." Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin, "The entries do not focus on medal winners, the athletes, or their performances. Instead, the narratives put politics front and center....A number of themes run through the chronologically arranged entries: the role of amateurism, the rise of commercialism, the importance of television, and the growth of women's athletics. This book won't necessarily say who won the 100-meter race in a particular Olympiad, but it will tell who was boycotting those Games, why they were sitting out and what the impact of absence was. Best of all, each entry concludes with a bibliographic essay leading the reader to more sources on the topic....Highly recommended for all libraries."

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
