Celebrating Olympic Greats
Despite the mind-boggling hype surrounding the Atlanta Olympics, the focus will be on the athletic events themselves -- instead of things like "the official socket wrench of the 1996 Olympics" -- once the Games actually begin.
The plethora of Olympic-related products, of course, will continue throughout the year, and the publishing industry is no exception.
