My son wanted to read this book for a long time. Once he wanted to buy it used but it was just too expensive. When the reprint came out, he got it the first day when it was released and finished reading it in one day. If you are a runner, you will appreciate this book. Nothing bad to say about the book, however, the package it came in was opened at one end. It was lucky that the book stayed inside. If both ends were stapled, it will be more secure during shipping.
