For the ones that used to skate and want to be reminded of what it feels like to glide over the ice.
I want you to keep this book where you can see it, so you can always be reminded of the wonderful art form that is figure skating. Open up the book and become inspired.”

Thank you, Johanna, for this wonderful book!
Very interesting and practical topics that could interest all skaters.
The reading will continue for a long time
With super quality and gorgeous photos! Excellent work.
Very good for putting in a gift bag this Christmas season. This book is a must have for all skaters and anyone interested in skating topics.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Everything about this book is just beautiful! Done with heart and passion, love it so much! Thank you also for shipping save and very quickly. Happy to have this present under my Christmas tree this year!
The first time I opened the book, it left me completely speechless. I still struggle to find the suitable words to properly describe it, but I can easily say that it’s not only a book, but an entire experience.
It is exceptionally beautiful on the outside, I already use it as a room decoration when I’m not reading it. And what’s between the covers – well I won’t say much, in order to keep the surprises inside for those who still haven’t seen it, but it is awe-inspiringly brilliant! The pages are overflowing with information, everything is so meticulously arranged, enthralling to read and stunning to look at! Just by having a quick flick through is enough to immerse you into the unique world of Figure Skating. Maybe one of the most noteworthy and remarkable things about the book is the amount of time, effort, dedication and true passion, that have, so evidently, been put into its creation.
I truly believe The Book of Figure Skating is one of the most important chapters in the history of this incredible sport, and a priceless gift for the skating community.
Thank you for this amazing book. It’s not just a book, it’s full of very useful advices and experiences. Something to keep on the bedside table and read over and over again. I love that I could see into the author’s mindset and read exactly what she was feeling when she thought about the topics. Her thoughts flowed well and moved the book along very beautifully.
It was very engaging to read.
As a skating fan and also a competitive adult skater, I was very excited to read “The Book of Skating”! Honestly, I’ve read many books about skating, and many of them were written by skaters so, when I ordered “The Book of Skating” I actually thought I knew what I would be getting, but this book is so much more!
The book itself is beautiful and when I opened the cover, I was immediately impressed with the photography. The pictures draw you into the book but the contents keep you flipping the pages! Johanna’s love and understanding of the sport of figure skating comes through clearly in every page. This is one of the few books that I would recommend to both casual skating fans as well as those with in-depth knowledge of the sport. There is something in this book for everyone to enjoy and learn more about the most amazing sport in the world!
I bought 3 copies so far, might buy more for friends. I’ve got my own signed, so I am not borrowing that one to anyone and after finishing reading it, I continue to be convinced that the book makes a perfect gift and is a must-read for anyone interested in figure skating. So, you might as well stop reading this and buy it already :). Even with some of its flaws (and yes this is not a washing powder commercial, there are some 🙂 ) the book perfectly succeeds in delivering different perspectives on figure skating as a sport and as a whole. In the world where people tend to force on others idea that things are either black or white, they are often not just grey, but blue, green, red, and purple… I think that especially applies to figure skating and this book captures it very nicely. It is obvious that it was created with a lot of love, and I think that makes it a must-have more than any part of specific information that you can find in it.
When I first saw the cover of the book, I already knew it was going to be amazing. I had been looking forward to reading it for a long time and I was very excited to finally be able to do so.
This book is suitable for figure skaters, who have been skating for many years as well as skaters, who are just starting out. It’s also for those, who just want to know more about figure skating in general.
The book’s aesthetic is exceptionally beautiful and I can see that a lot of work has gone into it. The photos are very creative and inspiring and they make the reading more enjoyable.
The book includes various types of topics and covers all different aspects of figure skating.
I recommend everyone who is interested in this sport to read the book, because I believe everyone has something to learn from it. Overall the book is just exquisite.
❤️❤️❤️
The Book of Figure Skating is just wonderful!
First I just wanted to flip the pages back and fort and look at all of those beautiful pictures in it. Speechless of the content and the beauty! When I started to read the book, I didn’t want to stop at all. Really interesting stories, interviews and facts about figure skating. I especially enjoyed to read about Johanna’s own career as a figure skater.
Everything in the book is carefully thought out and the book is amazing both in terms of content and aesthetics. I just love it, thank you Johanna!
What a stunning book for both figure skaters and lovers of figure skating. I purchased this for my daughter and she truly loves this beautiful book. It has some of her favourite skaters and also has a wealth of information about many different topics that impact a skaters like health and wellbeing.
