Summary: One of the best yo-yo books out there.
Review: This really is one of the best yo-yo books out there. Each trick is described in step by step photographic detail as well as textual. There is also a real logic to the layout. Too many yo-yo books go straight from easy tricks like walk the dog to intermediate tricks like the three-leaf clover to advanced tricks like split the atom in less than three or four pages. I don't know about yo-yoers out there but I had to get a whole lot more practice and tricks under my belt before I could move from a walk the dog to a split the atom. The sections on yo-yo history are just fun to read and the tips on care and maintanance are helpful. Also the last section on competitions from the tricks you need to know to the general information on them is a major plus. I've seen a lot of other books and honestly the only other I have seen that matches up is The Yonomicon by Mark Mcbride, but that really for just advanced level play. This book is just a great all around book for all levels. Also there is a whole section on two-handed play, a real rarity in yo-yo books
