Industry Reviews Gr 2-5 Good-quality, captioned photographs appear throughout these limited biographies. Rambeck focuses on his subjects' athletic accomplishments and career highlights. Agassi's flamboyant personality and Blair's quiet determination show up in the full-color photos and brief texts. The simply written books have large print and attractive layouts. Occasional quotes from the athletes are included, but no sources are cited. Cathy Breitenbucher's Bonnie Blair (Lerner, 1994) provides much more information. Janice C.
