Two very different books that might interest Flyers fans are available for the holidays. One weighs about as much as the average new-born baby and is filled with exhaustive research done by Jay Greenberg. The other is a heartfelt story about the personal life of Keith Allen and how he steered the Flyers to greatness.
If you're a Flyers fan, they are must-reads, and both have revealing forewards by former club chairman and co-founder Ed Snider, who died in April.
In Greenberg's "The Philadelphia Flyers at 50," the author superbly documents everything (and I mean EVERYHING) that has happed in the franchise's history, and it includes lots of behind-the-scenes revelations.
