from Harvest Books
Price: $9.75
Customer Review:
Wow, this book was amazing. I didn't know much about the Iditarod, and the author was very informative. But to say that makes it sound boring, which it was not!

As a student of Krav Maga, I would say that this book is an invaluable reference to live training. I wouldn't recommend trying to learn the system by simply reading this book, but that goes without saying.
