Reviews
""...the book is an important contribution to sport media, marketing, and management. Overall, anyone interested in learning more about the nature and make-up of the fantasy industry will find this book rewarding."" – idrottsforum.org, Scandinavian Sport Studies Forum ""Overall, I commend the authors for developing a book primarily about the fantasy-sport industry. With the growth of this industry, this book is a necessary addition for the sport communication and management field. It could be used as a supplemental text for an upper level digital-media course or sport-marketing course. The book is well organized and each chapter builds on previous chapters. It does a superb job of explaining who the participants are and segmenting the various populations that partake in fantasy sports. (…) If you are interested in understanding all facets of the fantasy-sport industry, this book will provide that insight."" - Matthew Blaszka, Indiana State University, USA
