"I published these books so the names of the best athletes and their teams, including their amazing accomplishments, would not fade away with time," said Joe Seidler, publisher. The first volume is a reprint of the highly acclaimed first history book, ULTIMATE - The First Four Decades, highlighting the history of ultimate from 1968-2004. The new, second volume is a continuation of the first book, highlighting how ultimate has advanced from 2005-2018 and looking toward what is in store for the future of the sport. Vol. II was expanded to 224 pages with over 200 photos. Additionally, a third book, Vol. III, covering the history of the Disc, Rules & SOTG and the Hall of Fame will be published as an eBook later in 2019.
