ATD2025 Draft Thread Part II

[jigglysquishy]

Have you read this yet? It's great. Cameron isn't the main focal point, but his role is obviously covered in the book. I think you'd (or any ATDer) really enjoy it.

This looks really interesting.

Where are you guys buying your hockey books? I can't find this in Canada.

Game reports are such valuable primary research material, especially if you compile a lot of them!

Secondary reports years later are what a lot of early era greats are known for, and the one i'd read and cited is thus incorrect.

The Internet develops - even wiki NOW lists him at left wing. Old guy me did my digging on him back in 2006-2010.

Morey is a fellow SIHR member, so I knew about the book months before it was released officially. I can't recall if I bought it from him directly or if it was through amazon.ca but I'm pretty sure I was among the very first to get a copy. I don't believe it was available for sale in Canada for too long - I think I recall it being a fairly limited run and I seem to remember him mentioning he might have to throw away his remaining unsold stock due to storage issues. Not sure if he went through with..I sure hope not.

I do see some copies listed on the American amazon marketplace for like $15 USD but not all sellers ship to Canada. I can keep an eye out for you and message some contacts to see if I can find a copy for you.

As for myself and new books, I tend to use amazon and Chapters/Indigo. For used books I use every online resource available - abebooks, thriftbooks, amazon marketplace, ebay, betterworldbooks etc.. Plus I have many contacts and we try to help each other out with our want lists.

If anyone here is ever looking for a particular book, let me know. I can't promise anything but I do my best to try to find a copy. Hockey book hunting is practically my other full time job - I've bought over 2,100 of them throughout the years.

I'm always on the lookout for empire of ice for $100ish.

It's absolutely bonkers to see this listed at $300+ now. Good 'ol automated internet pricing. Used booksellers will run the isbn through a database and will see the lowest is listed at $299.99 so they'll put theirs up for $289.99 as a "bargain." It's ridiculous. Supply and demand I guess..

Pretty sure I paid $25 for mine a decade ago. If I'd have known what they go for now I'd have bought 10 copies lol. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you, but I have a friend who's also on the hunt for it and has me looking for him as well.

I'll finish off the defense with mean Ted Green, D to play with Coffey whom he coached and was the most similar to Orr who he played with a bit

"For the last two months of the season Coffey was really the guy who ran our team," says Sather, who believes that the playoff MVP trophy, voted to Gretzky, should have been split between the Great One and Coffey. Gretzky agrees.
Adds Ted Green, another Bruin teammate of Orr's and a former Oiler assistant coach, "In last year's playoffs we leaned on Coffey the way the Bruins used to lean on Orr. No one could have risen to the occasion better. Not even 'himself.' "
Himself. That's Orr, of course.

MOVE OVER, BOBBY

Ever since Bobby Orr came into the National Hockey League in 1966 and singlehandedly changed the concept of how to play defense, people have been waiting for

I have a phone interview tomorrow AM with one of my preferred potential employers. I enjoy interviewing. Especially now that I've done it a few times.
