The Philadelphia Flyers at 50: The Story of the Iconic Hockey Club and its Top 50 Heroes, Wins & Events Review: This book picks-up from the previously published Full Spectrum. - I'm not sure how any reader who was paying attention could feel the book is in any way "deceptive": 1) The book is intended as a 50th anniversary companion to the original Full Spectrum, which covered the 1967-96 period in great detail. 2) The new book contains a page with instructions for those who don't own Full Spectrum to obtain a free PDF of the book to accompany the new volume, and 3) the new book has lengthy 50th anniversary sections on the top 50 figures in Flyers history, 50 greatest victories, 50 key moments, etc. that span the entire 50 years. Together, Flyers at 50 along with Full Spectrum provide THE definitive history of the Flyers, season by season and viewed across the entire 50 seasons. Very well written and an excellent read! Review: Must read for any Flyers fan - I bought this book about 2 weeks before Jay passed away and I've been reading it since. An absolute must read for behind the scenes look at what was going on in the front office and in the locker room during some times when an average fan may have been like, "why they did/didn't the do ______." I'm enjoying it very much. RIP Jay, you were always the best Flyers beat writer IMO.

Too much writing. Not many pictures.
Nice hard cover. Very large thick book. I thought there would be way more pictures. It's mostly writing which I don't think my husband will be able to concentrate long enough to read. I was hoping it was big pictures with a page and a half of writing for each picture. Might return.

You're not a TRUE fan of the Flyers unless you own this book...!
Warning....this book is HUGE....! Over 600 pages. However, if you want the definitive story of 50 years of Flyers hockey, this is place to go. Tons of color photographs and stories that only Jay could find. He got outstanding cooperation in writing this book and it shows in the pages inside. A must have for any TRUE Flyers fan.

Very Informative for any Flyer fan who wants a complete history of the first 50 years of the franchise. Like an encyclopedia. Would have liked a few more pictures however.
