This book gets only 3 stars because, while it contained a lot of good and interesting information, I felt it was lacking as an illustrated history. Some of the picture choice and quality was quite low... and I read the 2010 version (I believe it said it was a FIFTH edition), and yet found 3-4 spelling mistakes in the book, as well as a picture of the Colorado Avalanche described as the Stars winning the Stanley Cup... Oh, and in the back, it lists Alex Ovechkin as a player for the Pittsburgh Pen This book gets only 3 stars because, while it contained a lot of good and interesting information, I felt it was lacking as an illustrated history. Some of the picture choice and quality was quite low... and I read the 2010 version (I believe it said it was a FIFTH edition), and yet found 3-4 spelling mistakes in the book, as well as a picture of the Colorado Avalanche described as the Stars winning the Stanley Cup... Oh, and in the back, it lists Alex Ovechkin as a player for the Pittsburgh Penguins under one of the awards. Completely ridiculous overlooks for a fifth edition of a book. Finally, I felt that each chapter jumped around too much, which made the format of separation by decades seem somewhat silly and occasionally difficult to follow.

As someone new to the sport, this was a great primer. It has enough great stuff inside to appeal to the diehard fan as well though.
