A story about this — 6 weeks ago
A cute small-format book with photos of the Stanley Cup in various places with the opposite page telling a little bit about that place that makes it unique or interesting. Not nearly as much information about the Cup’s travels with players as I would have liked, and one segment misidentifies the U.S. Capitol as the White House (which made me wonder how many other places are wrong).
My biggest gripe, which probably wouldn’t be noticed by most readers, is that the majority of the photos appear to have been taken with a cheap point-and-shoot camera, the pictures developed at a cheap lab, and then the photos were scanned with a cheap scanner for use in the book (some of the photos—like the keepers of the Cup—look good, so it wasn’t a printing issue).
Still, it was an entertaining, quick read.
