Review

Overview of a famous and long-lasting sports event. The brief text is accompanied by full color photos and graphics. It is hard to compact over 100 years of marathon history into 31 pages - so it is a bit simplified and choices of info highlighted is random. Some of the photos used to illustrate things were odd. There is a glossary but no index.

Overall Book Score: fair
