This review is from: Official Rules of the NFL (Paperback)

Maybe I shouldn't have bought this book; we have a difficult time finding the information we want in it. It's probably our inexperience. As an example, just this morning we spent a quarter hour trying to find clear and specific definitions or descriptions of what the guy covering the pass receiver can and cannot do. It must be in there somewhere, but we couldn't find it. One major problem is that the book lacks an index. That is really a shame because it makes the definitive source for all these rulings on the field less accessible to an average reader. I assume that for a more experienced reader with a serious interest in the game, this book would be a wonderful resource. I hope we can figure out how to use it more successfully. One thing that we find really peculiar: so far as we can tell, the official rules are not for sale in the NFL store on its website.
