“Want to boost your circulation statistics? Buy this book. Want to boost your circulation statistics some more? Buy two copies of this book. However many copies you buy, within a year they will either be read to pieces or be as hard to find as Bill Barilko’s body. Sports Hall of Weird will entirely meet the expectations of its readers, who will mostly be sports-crazy kids, along with some cross-over readers from the Guinness Book of World Records camp. This is a book that needs no pitching?. It is pure entertainment.“ Canadian Materials
