The Bible of spinning tops. This informative book is a compendium of most everything to do with tops. Mr. Gould draws heavily from various sources and authorities and was given access to historic collections of tops from several universities, museums, and professors. As a result, the book is thoroughly researched and well-written with beautiful illustrations and stories which aid in explaining not only the physical aspects, but the spiritual and historical implications of the top as well.
