Not for the new or faint of heart

This is a great book of pretty darn advanced yo-yo tricks. It breaks each trick down into it's parts and expalins it in a physics type manner. It's not that easy to follow, and it reads kind of like a text book, but if you can get through the complex explainations it's got some stuff you've never seen in a yo-yo book before.If you want to get deeper into some complicated yo-yo tricks, this book is for you.

Topological Yoistics

Do you get a kick out of operator spaces and wacky topology? If so, this is the yo-yo book for you. Coming just shy of an out-and-out mathematical analysis of the yo-yo, McBride lays down the laws of freestyle Yo, defining yo-yo play as a subset of the possible string/hand operations on the topology consisting of the yo, free hand and throw hand. This book will redefine the way you look at yo-yoing. If you have a refined mathematical background, this book could easily start you on the road towards a graduate thesis.

I LOVE YONOMICON!!

The Yonomicon is a great book, its like a math book full of equations to mix and make tricks. It leaves nothing unexplained, it just takes a littl while to learn to understand how McBride is explaining the tricks. It different, in a better way.

This Is Not Yo'er Father's Oldsmobile .. or yo-yo book !

This is a breakthrough book. As the publisher of Just Say Yô¿ô, a website dedicated to the yo-yo community, and as a witness and participant in it's recent most incredible growth, I have watched as the combination of yo-yo masters, modern manufacturer and the enthusiasm of 'kids' has created an entirely new game .. a new sport.Here Mark McBride has created a new language to explain what it has been, and is going to be about. So You Wanna Be the "Yo-Yo Man / Woman." This book will be prominantly displayed on yo'er shelf .. Read this review, from Captain Yo, Don Watson .. 193? New York City Champion, 1996 3rd Place U.S. Freestyle Champion, Co-Creator of the World Famous Tom Kuhn SBII, and several models of Spintastics Professional Yo-Yos.

This book is a classic to all yoyo lovers.

This book is like a bible to yoyo lovers of all ages. If you've ever wanted to do a yoyo trick and didn't know how you'll have to get this book. But don't take my word for it, read it your self.
