Why is this book so expensive? I've looked all over for a cheaper one, I mean come on it's a paper back book, or am I missing something?

Goon The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey Adam Frattasio Doug Smith Books Reviews

Doug and Adam took me deep into places a hockey fight fan could never have gone before, it's a transport devise in paper. If you like the world of hockey fights and fighters, this is a must read but I'd bet every hockey fan would enjoy this book as well. As they say, no one every goes for popcorn during a hockey fight, no one who reads this book can put it down. Many thanks to Doug and Adam for getting this book out to us fans of Goons.
I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend, and now I'm recommending it to all the guys I play hockey with. It's like reading the movie Slap Shot, except this book is more graphic and revealing. I'll never watch another hockey game the same way again!
I played minor-league hockey, I fought, and this guy tells it like it is. This book isn't for every hockey fan, but then again, fighting wasn't for every hockey player when I was playing. Two thumbs up for you.
As a hockey wife, I was intrigued by this book. I am not a huge hockey fan, yet I couldn't put the book down. I really enjoyed reading it through my wincing at the vivid descriptions of fights, surgeries and the aftermath of each. I too think that the reviewer from Hanover may still be licking old wounds and not practicing his spelling.
This is a must read for all sports fans! Or for that matter, anyone who has ever wondered why fighting is, and always has been, part of the game of Hockey. This book gives the reader a rare glimpse into what it is like to be a professional hockey fighter. A true "gun for hire".
It shares with you all the intimate details of being a minor league roughian. Such as the long bus rides, from one mill Town to the next. And some of the dialoge between the two combatants prior to their bare knuckled duels.
It is also the true story of a person pursuing, and acheiving a dream. Doug Smith did not start skating until he was 19! Only a few years later he was playing professional hockey. He got there by working hard and punching hard. And he never lost his sense of humor along the way.
I highly recommend this to anyone who likes sports, comedy, and seeing someone acheive their dreams.
I wasn't expecting a lot when I ordered this book but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The story is very interesting and the author doesn't miss any details. It's a must have for any "old time" hockey fan's library.
I'm an avid hockey fan and I have a library of tapes that have fights from Behn Wilson and Dave Shultz to Bob Probert and Tony Twist. This is an excellent book and its prompted me to seek out tapes of guys like Frank Bialowas and of course Doug himself. I remember talking to Doug at the Mall in Hanover with some of my friends about the best goons in the business and the dynamics of how the role was to be played. Doug explains it vividly, humbly and honestly while at the same time making it seem like the ultimate adventure in this book. This is a must-read for all hockey fight fans or just hockey fans in general. Great book fellas and thanks for living out one of my fantasies Doug.
It's pretty cool that Ron Delorme posted here by the way!
