This leather-bound "For the Love of Hockey" book was produced in 1997 by Field of Dreams and the NHLPA, and is the personal copy that was presented to Johnny Bucyk. Featured are the personal stories of hockey stars spanning various eras and the signatures of each of the 92 greats are profiled within these pages on large colour photo pages. Numbered “013” out of the 100 copies, the "Signature Series Players' Edition" set of 100 was produced exclusively for each of the hockey stars who took part in the project. Featured are the signatures of deceased HOFers Richard, Worsley, Mikita and Beliveau, as well as Bucyk, along with Ratelle, Orr, Lemieux, Gretzky, Roy, Cournoyer and others. Originally from Johnny Bucyk's personal collection, an LOA from Classic Auctions will accompany.

Others who have signed this highly desirable book are Kelly, Geoffrion, Kurri, Lafleur, Howell, Henderson, Sakic, Fuhr, Fetisov, Stastny, Yzerman, Lindsay, Park, Hasek, Lindros, Sittler, Trottier, Ullman and more. The book remains in gorgeous condition and comes in an attractive blue slipcase, accompanied by the original NHLPA cover letter sent with the book to Bucyk, signed by Mike Ouellet.
