Editorial Reviews:

 

Some say that Ultimate is the most misunderstood team flying disc field running sport on the planet. Most people think it’s Frisbee football played barefoot and without boundaries. Those people are wrong. Ultimate is a sport played by 824,000 people a year in North America—more than korfball, lawn darts, lacrosse, and curling combined. Ultimate is so popular that it even has rules that are sometimes followed.

This book will provide you with complete and total knowledge of the Ultimate game.

THIS BOOK INCLUDES:

-- The Eight Ultimate Player Types

-- The 42 Most Common Nicknames

-- 28 Near-Useless Throws on the Field

-- How to Name Your Ultimate Team

-- Where to Play Ultimate Without Being Mocked

-- How to Score at an Ultimate Party

-- Useful Playing Tips from Experts of the Game

 
PLUS:
HOW TO PLAY ULTIMATE IN EIGHT EASY STEPS – AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE

-- Can I play Ultimate with a mustache?

-- Where do Ultimate babies come from?

-- How can I become an Ultimate champion without practicing?

-- What is “throwing Fire”?

-- How can I survive a shark attack?

Summary: The Greatest Book Ever on the Sport of Ultimate
Comment: I bought this book expecting some explanation of the game and maybe some humor, but what I found is one of the funniest non-fiction books I've ever read. Anyone who's ever at least dipped their toe into strange athletic cult that is organized ultimate should have this on their coffee table. The parts about the "8 types of ultimate player" are hilariously right on the money.

Summary: Excellent eclectic look at the world's premier emerging sport
Comment: The book is a great look inside the culture and community that makes ultimate so unique and enjoyable to thousands of americans. The satire mixed with legitimately useful and informative information creates an excellent blend of material which really gives the reader a good feel of what the scene is like. An absolute must-own for any and all ultimate players, a great gift for those who are close ultimate players, as well as a great general interest read.
