A tiny book,

This review is from: Footie's Black Book: A Guide To International Association Football (World Cup Soccer 2010 Edition) (Paperback)
I wish I would have noticed the very small size of this book. Gives info on each of the teams and spotlights their players to watch but the font is pretty small.
