This review is from: Beckett Great Sports Heroes: Joe Montana (Hardcover)

sweet looking photos and touches on everything from his days at Notre Dame to the 49ers to the Chiefs to his sports cards and joe montana memorbilia and shows tons of stats. awsome book. there are two versions though. this one, and a paper back edition, althought you can't tell until you open the paper back book and look at the pages. regardless, a great book for Montana fans.
