Additionally, a compendium of classic frisbee models and a price guide make this book the only source for collectors worldwide. Appendixes include a list of major events in frisbee history, a glossary of terms, and lists of frisbee organizations, publications, manufacturers, collectors, and dealers. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars The complete Book of Frisbee
Being an old dog, I was around for much of the late 70's, early 80's history that Victor alludes to.It was great to take this look down memory lane, as well as find a lot of new information.The disc trading guide has already proved itself helpful.I strongly recommend this book for any flying disc enthusiast.

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful reference
I love this book! It's the only one I have as a reference as to the history of Frisbee/Frisbies. I admit, the prices in my edition (1998) are out of date--they continue to go up!
I refer to this book all the time and each time I pick up something new. It's loaded with tons of great photos. It's a MUST for any Frisbee/flying disc lover.
I'm disappointed in the direction Wham-o has taken lately and the quality of the product they are now producing, but the history of Frisbees and the people involved along the way make this book a must-have!
One will have a much greater appreciation for those little flying discs (no matter what they're called or whose name is on them) once they have read this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Guide, Historically Significant
This book is a must for anyone associated with or interested in Frisbees, golf discs and Frisbie Pie Tins. Not only does it provide a guide for determining value of many highly collectible discs, it's entertaining, well-written, and well-designed. A collector's item in its own right and I highly recommend.

3-0 out of 5 stars Price Guide lacking current collectable prices(1998)
If you're buying this book as a priceguide to old or collectable frisbees, you should know this. Since the advent of online auctioning after 1998, many more frisbees have come out of the closet. Therefore, the priceguide part of the book is woefully out of date. Most collectableFrisbee prices as stated in the book are overvalued by 30-60%. I hope a revision of this book is printed soon.

2-0 out of 5 stars For frisbee collectors only
Don't be fooled by the title, this is not the complete book of frisbee. Ultimate only rates a couple of pages, for starters. There is nothing to speak of on throwing technique. It is not particularly well edited, either- many assertions and heresay have slipped through the net. Lots of nicepictures of collectable discs, if that's what you're into. A bit of adisappointment given the dearth of books-in-print about throwing techniqueand ultimate. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars This is how to train your dog
You can discount the entire sections on frisbee catching and this is still a wonderful book for any dog owner.This dog teaches how to correctly and humanely train your dog so that you can enjoy each others company.The frisbee training is simply outstanding.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for training dogs.
I enjoyed Karen Pryor's direct, simple approach to teaching my dog to play frisbee.She has many tips on training in general written in an easy reading style. The best part is-- her advice works!My yorkie is alreadyretrieving the frisbee and can hardly wait to play with it. I checked thisbook out at the library and decided I need a copy for myself! ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Frisbee gone Wild!!!
This book is amazing, although it has not yet been re-released as is claimed here.If it were, the world of frisbee would be so pleased, though.Packed full of historical and technical information, thiscyclopedia of all things frisbee is an absolute neccesity for thefrisbee-obsessed.And the pictures are worth the price, not to mention theiconistic rhetoric.

5-0 out of 5 stars Disc Classic:Soon to be updated and re-issued for 1998
Take notice that the author, Stancil Johnson, will soon be updating this disc classic and having it published for it's second printing.More news to follow. Shortly, it won't be so hard to get your hands on this bible. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Just Scratches the Surface
This book does an OK job of laying out some of the "fundamentals of Ultimate," but as others have said it's not as polished as it could be either visually (it looks like someone just printed it straight out of MS Word) or content-wise.The sections are often too brief, leaving out some of the subtle (and even some not-so-subtle) facets of the game.

If you're going to buy a book on Ultimate, either to teach yourself or to get ideas for coaching a team, a much better investment is Parinella and Zaslow's book, which is about same price and has a LOT more material (even though it, too, isn't perfect).

When this book first came out, it was basically the only one of its kind widely available.Nowadays, the only thing that this book has that Parinella's doesn't is a brief player/team profile section, which is nice but doesn't really add to one's understanding on the field.Back in 2003 I might have given this book 4 stars but now it scratches out a 3 for me.

5-0 out of 5 stars great resource!
I played ultimate in college and was looking to get a team together here in san diego.This book helped refresh my memory on basic rules/strategies and also offered lots of new insight into the finer points of the game.Very easy to understand, lots of helpful photos and diagrams throughout.This guy definitely knows his stuff!

2-0 out of 5 stars for absolute beginners only
i wouldn't recommend this book to any frisbee player,who's playing in a team,the lack of lessons and drills was disappointing,
if you browse the web for informations about ultimate,you get ten times more input then this book is able to give,so if you choose this book,be aware that it's just giving an oversight,but no interesting infos for more advanced players.

5-0 out of 5 stars Superb Starter Book!
I recommend this book highly to anyone who wants to learn more about ultimate frisbee.Twenty years ago I was playing this game in a midwestern college, only to return to West Virginia and receive blank stares when I mentioned the term.Now the sport has grown, with West Virginians as well as people from all over the globe playing!This title is evidence of the sport's growing popularity.

Studarus starts with the basics of ultimate, including the rules of the game, the spirit of the game, and numerous descriptions of how to throw a disc.He then covers a number of offenses, defenses, and drills to sharpen skills.The book concludes with some historical information regarding prominent ultimate teams and well-known ultimate players.

If you're new to ultimate frisbee and want to learn more, this title is the one to get.If you're a seasoned ultimate player and don't have this book in your library, it would be a wise investment as a basic primer.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff
I would highly recommend this book. I was a novice and looking for a good book to help familiarize myself with Ultimate, and this book helped me out. I learned individual skills, basic throwing and team skills, plus read some interesting interviews with experienced players. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great resource for alternative sports/games/hobbies buffs
Wow!What an incredibly lucky find!I found this book at a used bookstore and although somewhat outdated, I have found it to be an incredible reference source for me being a devotee of slightly alternative sports, games, hobbies, etc. (see my listmania lists to see what I mean *grin*).The book covers yo-yo's, kites, marbles, and table-top games, all with game rules, variations, and histories of each subject.I was so impressed with the marbles section, the day after I made this purchase I bought a set of marbles.Also, I'd like to thank Dr. Meisenheimer, for his yo-yo collecting guide (I am an aspiring yo-yo collector) and his reviews at amazon.com for it was perusing his reviews and the review of this fine book that made it stand out in my memory at the used bookstore.

5-0 out of 5 stars A must read for the yo-yo collector.
This book has 24 pages devoted to the history of the yo-yo including some great photos. This is not a trick book.It is a great read for the yo-yo history and collecting enthusiast.Many excellent chapters on Kites,Frisbees, Marbles and Board games as well. Unfortunately the book is longout of print so good luck in getting a copy. Lucky Meisenheimer M.D. author of"Lucky's Collectors Guide to 20th Century Yo-Yos...History andValues" ... Read more
