5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book For Gymnastics Fans, January 20, 1998

By A Customer

This book has everything you would ever want to know about the 1996 American Women Gymnastic Team. It has 14 pages about each individual gymnast, that clearly talks about their start of their career, to their fame in the sport. This book included pictures right out of the champions family photo albums too, so if you want to know more about these 7 wonderful athletes, check out this "Magnificent" book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must for gymnastics fans!, January 2, 1998

By A Customer

This book has 14 pages each on each member of the Magnificent Seven. There are color photos of each of them from birth to the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. The book tells you about their feelings of the '96 Olympics and also tells a bit about their career up to Atlanta. This book has pictures of each gymnast from the family photo album. You probably won't see them anywhere else. I think this book is for only gymnastics fans. I think non-gymnastics fans will think the book is boring. I reccomend this book to any gymnastic fan!
