Vancouver, B. C.: Greystone Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed/inscribed by Glen Hall on endpage: "To the ___.

"Hall famously invented the "butterfly" style of goalkeeping, which Adrahtas describes in detail without bogging casual fans down in trivialities. During his 18-year career, Hall was individually recognized with Vezina, Conn Smythe, and Calder trophies (hockey has not only the best team jerseys--pro perly called sweaters--but also the coolest-named awards) and was 11 times an all-star, which indicates the level of his appreciation by players and press alike. His teams made the playoffs 15 times--an almost incredible achievement for a guy who didn't play for any of the great hockey dynasties of the 1950s through 1970s (Montreal, Edmonton, the Islanders). In fact, Hall was goalie for the Chicago Blackhawks--the team with the longest current Stanley Cup drought--when they last won it: 1961. This candid and exciting biography should be a shot on goal for hockey fans everywhere. "; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Biographee . (more information)

Review: "MacInnis Does it Again, The "Remembering..." series transcends normal biography by showcasing top quality journalist's recollections with statistics and insights into the player and their game. Remembering the Golden Jet is no different. From Bobby Hull's early days playing minor hockey, to his watershed defection from the NHL to play for Winnipeg, a move that would rock the hockey world and force the league to re-evaluate it's salary policy forever. For Blackhawks fans this book charts the progress of a player who was feared by goalies everywhere for his blistering slapshot. I have read every Bobby Hull book out there, and nothing comes close in it's insights, in it's recognition of Hull as a true Legend of the game, as this beautifully designed book. I can't recommend it highly enough. " (*Shipping will be reduced to most locations). ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . (more information)
