Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
One of the unexpected offshoots of a championship season is that the history of the winners become interesting again. Of course, the Packers' past is long and storied; that Vernon Biever has been there to record it with his camera for more than 50 years gives the team's history another thread of continuity. This wonderful collection of vintage and current Packer pictures, accompanied by mini oral histories--from Don Hutson catching a pass to a pensive Vince Lombardi to a cheesehead in full battle array--makes for a delightful celebration of a unique professional franchise.

The Glory of THE GLORY OF TITLETOWN,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Glory of Titletown: The Classic Green Bay Packers Photography of Vernon Biever (Hardcover)
Far and away the best book of its kind. This book is put together on quality paper with large, wonderful photographs, many of which I had never seen. Each photograph is accompanied on the facing page by never-before-published (often quite funny) recollections of Green Bay players past and present. Obviously, the editor put this book together as a work of love for the subject matter. A unique book, and one of the best Packer books ever published.

This book celebrates the art of football.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Glory of Titletown: The Classic Green Bay Packers Photography of Vernon Biever (Hardcover)
The photographs are a delicious reminder of not just the glory days of Titletown, but also the golden days of football, before television got it by the throat. The text is brilliantly supportive of these extraordinary photos, and the editor has artfully woven the elements to tell the story of the glory. Packer fans and all the others should treat themselves to this sophisticated, inspirational tribute to the Big Game.
