Review
Providing detailed explanations and helpful hints, The Complete Book of Figure Skating is the only book of its kind available and a valuable asset to any skater's library.

This book is a true outlook on our wonderful sport of figure skating. It's an instructor's guide to every detail and an even better guide for those wanting to understand the technique behind the difficult moves of our sport. A thumbs-up to this great book!

Carole Shulman's knowledge is all-inclusive. As the PSA executive director, she has supervised all the aspects of coaching figure skating. I cannot think of a finer or more qualified person to write this book.
