Skate Crazy by Lou Brooks Softcover, 8 1/2" x 8 1/2", 144 pages, new and in mint condition. During the Golden Age of Roller Skating (1937-1959), more than 3,000 roller rinks - from the homespun to the palatial - dotted the streets of just about every town in America. Each and every rink offered its loyal patrons something unique to roller skating - its own special roller rink sticker! Pasted on skate cases, as well as fanatically traded and collected by individuals and clubs alike, the stickers were more popular than baseball cards to America's more than ten million roller skaters. Featuring over 400 of the best rink stickers, as well as page after page of amazing photographs, postcards, and other skating memorabilia, Skate Crazy takes a fascinating full-color look back at the phenomenon of the roller skating rink and the years that allowed its Golden Age to blossom and thrive so dramatically. So, step up to the skate rental counter, lace up, and try your hand at dancing the Hokey Pokey to the strains Mighty Wurlitzer - get ready to go Skate Crazy !
