In 2010, Vancouver and Whistler will host 17 days of Olympic Winter Games competition (February 12-28) and 10 days of Paralympic Winter Games competition (March 12-21). With Glowing Hearts will be the single most powerful visual representation of those 27 days of sport - an exclusive publication capturing the true spirit of the Games, as told through breathtaking photographic images and captions that bring the reader right back to the "field of play" and all the Games action. The book will showcase the raw emotion and pure excitement of the Games - a volume to be treasured by all Games enthusiasts wishing to savour the Vancouver 2010 experience long after the competition ends. The first time an official commemorative book of the Games sanctioned by the Organizing Committee has been widely available to the general public, With Glowing Hearts will truly be a Games keepsake.

I pre-ordered this book right after the games ended and just received it. With all the books, magazines etc. that were rushed to print right after the games and surely snatched up you're probably wondering why bother with this one? Because this one is done right. It's not just a bunch of glossy pictures of medalists it's the real story of the games. Not just the athletes (of course they're in here too)but stories about the venues, the fans, behind the scenes, fabulous photos I've never scene before and it also includes the Paralympics which is just a bonus as well. If you really want a book to cherish that will remind you of every moment of these games than this is it start to finish and well worth the price for these glorious moments in time Canadians (and hopefully the world) won't soon forget.

I pre-ordered mine along with my closing ceremony tickets, and I'm still waiting for it to be delivered. I did get to browse through a copy at Chapters recently, and it looks fantastic.
