Summary of Skate Crazy: Amazing Graphics From the Golden Age of Roller Skating
During the Golden Age of Roller Skating (1937-1959), more than 3,000 roller rinks -- from the homespun to the palatial -- dotted the streets of just about every town in America. Each rink offered its loyal patrons something unique to roller skating -- its own special roller rink sticker! Pasted on skate cases, as well as fanatically traded & collected by individuals & clubs alike, the stickers were more popular than baseball cards to America's more than 10 million roller skaters. This book features over 400 of the best rink stickers, as well as page after page of amazing photographs, postcards, advertisements, programs, & other skating memorabilia to paint a glorious portrait not only of the roller rink's grandest era, but also of America's changing society.Sports Books
