(Has anyone read this & is it a worthwhile mystery to read?)

I'm reading Toller Cranston's new book now & found his take on several skaters -John Curry, Dorothy Hamill, Brian Orser, Robin Cousins, Duschenays- for the most part insightful. I bet some fans will not like many of his razor sharp observations, although I don't mind reading the bad as well as the good about skaters I like. He was merciless when it came to Phillipe, but I agree with him.

If anyone knows about any other new books, please update us.

When will the Dick Button book be released? I thought it was supposed to be out last season but I haven't seen it yet.

In a message for a fundraiser in Southern California featuring Tai Bablilonia & Randy Gardner, it stated:
"Tai & Randy will be available to sign copies of their new book, "Forever Two as One".

Tai & Randy's book was written with Martha Lowder Kimball, who co-authored Toller's last 3 books. It's supposed to be out this month.
