World Soccer Legends series.
This sturdy book on current (male) soccer players from around the world reads like a fluff magazine, with brief bios comprised of stats and anecdotes. Generously illustrated with vivid full-page photographs, the glossy format may entice fans looking for anything about international soccer stars. The book lacks an index, sources, or suggested resources.

World Soccer Legends series.
Accentuated by eye-catching action photos, informative two-page spreads trace the spectacular rise of the hard-driving soccer trio known as "The Three Musketeers." The sometimes repetitive text nevertheless adequately follows the three stars' careers in Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina before they played together in FC Barcelona in 2014; it also highlights their individual playing styles, stats, and personalities. Mostly for hard-core young soccer enthusiasts.
