I have all three of the Roller Derby books...Five Strides On The Banked Track...Roller Derby To RollerJam, and this book. Although it isn't as complete into the hsitory of Roller Derby, it does focus on a few of the ones who were the trendsetters of the banked track sport. Profiles of Charlie O'Connell, Ken Monte, Buddy Atkinson Sr., his wife Bobbie, Joanie Weston, Ronnie Robinson, and the two original voices of Roller Derby. Ken Nydell and Walt Harris. Great photos of the past. Must be included with the other mentioned books!

This review is from: A Very Simple Game: The Story of Roller Derby (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a great book and just look at what a book that cost 2.50 is selling for now.But the Book does not give the history of Roller Derby or how the zRoller Games gave them great competition during the 70,s.If you want the hostory of Roller derby order the new Roller Derby Chronicles you will learn a lot more.This book I aquired this year but it holds a very sore spot in my heart when i was young i ordered this through the mail and never got it,I guess jerry Seltzer might have did that to a lot of people back them,..
