Since the football season started my husband can't tear himself away from it. When he's not watching the games, he is looking at stats, reorganizing his fantasy team, and going to football "support groups" - as I call them. I decided I'll impress him a bit. I picked up this book at my local bookstore. Compared to other similar titles on the market, this book proved to be superior. It has a lot more information: extensive lingo vocabulary, history, rules, team descriptions, stats, trivia, and a lot more. It even has a few game-day recipies. Its size was also a winner with me, it fits nicely in my purse.
If you are like me and would like to get to know football, buy and read this book.

I bought this for my wife, who knows shopping, shoes, and Us magazine...and nothing about football whatsoever. We expected this to be a guide to football for someone like her (given the title). But it assumes some basic knowledge of the game and it does not go to the trouble of defining terms before they are used. It is very dense if you don't already know football.

This book seems reasonably well-written, but it is definitely not for women who know nothing about football.

This book is full of typos, grammatical errors and factual errors. I love football and was deeply hurt to see the subject treated with such disrespect. The woman who wrote this is absolutely talentless. Trust me, it's painful to read. Don't bother with it.

I read this book the day before homecoming so i would be able to follow along at the game, and it was such a big help! Filled with not only the basic rules and guidelines, but also smaller interesting facts that helped shape football into the sport it is today. It was a great, quick read.
