Summary: Worth every penny
Comment: It's about time.
I've been playing ultimate for, geez, about 8 years now. Much of the material in this book is stuff that I'm familiar with. Some of it is new to me. But even the info that comes as no surprise becomes more useful when you see it stated concisely. In addition, this would be a fantastic teaching aid if you're trying to figure out how to get new players onto the right page.
Example: One part of the book shows a fairly basic play (disc trapped on the line, L-stack, dump/swing and throw for yardage), and shows, with commentary, seven different slight variations, based on who can cut, where the throw is caught, etc. Each of the seven variations will make immediate sense to an experienced ultimate player, but you might not ever think of the play in terms of the basic principles, and you might have a hard time explaining it to a newbie (or even realizing what things needed to be explained).
I agree with the reviewer who pointed out that unless you speak a certain amount of the language, this book would be pretty confusing.
I'm half way through the book now, and it has already been more than worth the price. I suspect any ultimate player would agree.

Summary: Great book, great photo
Comment: Yeah Wiggins is good, but who remembers that play at natties last year? Chase somethingor other makes an incut, wiggins gets all in him for a d and lays out, Chase lays out forward directly at the disc past wiggins and makes the sick grab. Looked even better from the sidelines than it does on the cover...
The book itself is very useful, I think.. Sure, I would have liked it if it detailed 10 or 15 junk d's instead of just the clam and the plain-jane zone, but I've only had it for 2 weeks and I think even the foreword helps me to visualize my game better and play up.
