5.0 out of 5 stars Really Fun Book, November 25, 2003

This review is from: The Handbook of Mascots & Nicknames (Paperback)

I have just looked through a unique book written by Peter J. Fournier. "The Handbook of Mascots & Nicknames" is very comprehensive and thorough in the research that went into it. Shown are the mascots and/or nicknames of over 1,500 U.S. senior colleges and universities, 740 U.S. junior and community colleges, and over 115 Canadian institutions. Dick Vitale, the noted ESPN announcer and personality, liked this book so much he endorsed it: "If you love sports like I do, you will enjoy Pete's Handbook of Mascots & Nicknames. It is awesome, baby!" I think that any sports fan or trivia buff, old or young, male or female should have this book in their library. The book is a wonderful birthday present or a great stocking stuffer for the holidays. I can't wait for the update that will include all of the Puerto Rican colleges and universities.

This review is from: The Handbook of Mascots & Nicknames (Paperback)

This is ONLY the Mascots names and nicknames. There is no history of how the nicknames and mascots came about. I really want to know how they got the names and mascots and what they mean to the colleges and the community that they are in.
