Nice!

This is the ultimate coffee table book. I got lost in it. Hey, if you love the SEC like I do, check out "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football". It rocks! I highly recommend both books! Go Vols!

The True Story of the Sport of Football

This is a book you will pick up for years to come. It is the first book I have read which shows the story of American football and how it touches each portion of our culture and lifestyle. Starting from the earliest days of "mud ball" to the collegiate and professional ranks, this journal tells the complete story though words and pictures. The photography will take anyone who has ever played even sandlot football, back to the action! Once you pick it up, be ready to sit for hours of enjoyment!

This is good stuff!!!

Any sports fan must remember "75 Seasons" or Ken Burns' "Baseball," books that came out two years ago. Those were great, and this is just as good, if not better! I got three copies. One for my son, my dad and me

A great gift book, full of wonderful photography and stories

Football America has a lot of terrific football photography featuring college, pro, pee-wee, high school and even prison football shots. Also, the stories are interesting and fun. Overall, it's a nice presentation that would appeal to all different kinds of sports fans
