I was impressed by the resources appendix. The book is dedicated to those who finance and build skateparks so the authors' hearts are in the right place. The target audience is kids aged 10-25 and this well illustrated book seems to live up to its promise. I am not a skateboarder but am buying it for two bits (the last of the big spenders) at the library sale to give to a co-worker for her lads. It did remain on the shelves of this branch library for 12 years, which is extraordinary given how fast they turnover their stock of books.
