All the great figure skaters!

— Sequins! (5/5)

This Book Blew Me Away

"As a devoted fan of figure skating since the 70s, I was eagerly anticipating this book. I had high expectations, especially after reading Ryan's Skate Guard blog for years and knowing the level of research involved. Well, let me tell you, this book blew me away! The research and writing was impeccable. I discovered so many fascinating things about the sport I didn't know, and the black and white illustrations were a delightful touch. If you're a fan of the sport, this book is an absolute gem!_x000D_ _x000D_ I was given an ARC copy and this is my honest review."

"A journey through one of the most exciting decades in figure skating history when the sport was at the height of its popularity and its stars were true icons... An essential read." - Suzie Housley, Midwest Book Review

"Ryan captures the era with a colorful account of a decade of figure skating... full of conflict, sadness and excess, one that changed history for all of us. The details and research are off the charts. Amazing." - Randy Gardner, World Pairs Skating Champion, 2-time Olympian

"Meticulously researched, highly compelling, entertaining, memorable and significant... Ryan Stevens is clever, acerbic, witty, compassionate, positive, and realistic. He loves and understands figure skating and he writes really, really well. This is a wonderfully readable and historically important book." - Phillippa Cranston Baran, author of "Toller Cranston: Ice, Paint, Passion"

"Exceptionally well constructed... A triumph... I'm now so obsessed with 80s skating that I've resorted to grainy videos online and am loving every minute, after loving every page of Stevens' book. Very highly recommended." - Asher Syed, Readers' Favorite

"I can't imagine the amount of work... This book drags out pieces of history that will really grab people's attention." - Matteo Morelli, This Week In Skating podcast
