Review:
These books address a largely unfilled niche: short, highly readable biographies of contemporary soccer stars. The texts are printed over and around voluminous, richly printed photographs and include many pages of scoring statistics and league standings, awards, even a QR code to direct readers to a video of Zlatan’s 40-yard bicycle-kick goal in a 2012 match against England. Frequent references to great players of the past Maradona, Pelé, Cruyff, Eusebio lend the books a welcome historical context.... These entries are excellent .”

The U.S. book with profiles of coaches from Thomas Cahill to Jurgen Klinsmann and players from Joe Gaetjens to Landon Donovan serves as a fine source for anyone of any age on American soccer history. (All of the books are also stat resources.)
Although meant for young readers, there’s nothing childish about the presentation in "Legends Series." The graphics such as the Gold Cup opponents map in U.S. Men’s Team are colorful yet clear and informative. They're simply beautiful books that tell fascinating stories.”
