Tuchman (founder & president, TSE Sports & Entertainment), a consultant on sports event travel, here gives aficionados of most sports, from golf to baseball, basketball, tennis, hockey, cycling, to football, both American and soccer, a virtual bible of information on the top 100 sporting events worldwide that he recommends traveling to for the live experience. Tuchman presents each sport or event (e.g., the Head of the Charles, the World Cup) with a brief history, followed by specific ticketing information, hotel and restaurant guides, and important phone numbers, i.e, the essentials to plan your trip. From the Masters to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Title Fight and every sport in between, including Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, the Iditarod, and the Running of the Bulls, Tuchman's no-holds-barred attitude presents readers with information they can understand and actually use, with most of the entries including web addresses for additional information. VERDICT Tuchman's book is not only a great resource for vacation planning but also for general sports interest. Highly recommend for all sports fans, both armchaireven if he'd rather you saw the events live!and travelingRachel Winchel, Louisiana Tech Univ., Ruston
