5.0 out of 5 stars Derby the way it was., July 18, 1998

By A Customer

If you were a fan of the original Roller Derby--and not Roller Games, or what it turned into--this is the book to find. If you can buy a copy, do so. Tells the whole story til about 1970. O'Connell, Joanie, Calvello, Ronnie Robinson, Jerry Seltzer--the whole gang's here at their zenith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reprint Or Update Is In Order!, May 20, 2005

By	George Gong (Vallejo, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Frank Deford did us one injustice! He never wrote another book about Roller Derby. If anyone could bring the excitment and drama of the banked track, with an understanding of it's history into a fast moving book, Frank Deford deserves an A+. A true must have for any banked track skating fan, or sports fan in general!

3.0 out of 5 stars Roller Derby
This book is slow and very SAD to be Frank, it tells of the derby as a traveling circus with 2 main stars and a lot of jealous rivals. Great but what is it trying to do. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent History of Roller Derby
This book is a must have if you were a fan of the IRDL's Roller Derby. The behind the scenes history of the sport and its skaters is excellent reading. Read more
