Great book! An absolute treasure for all UGA Alumni.

This book lived up to its name for the most part. Great photos with informative captions. It begins with the formation of the university, showing historical documents, and ends around 1999. I was there 1960--1962 during the first integration of blacks, and would like to have seen more photo coverage of that event, and some of the news coverage of it. It's a great book well worth the money for UGA historians.

This book is full of HISTORY about UGA. It has more than you might expect. From old pictures and blueprints of the original grounds to current architecture. Lots of things you might not know about the origins of the school, how it survived the civil war, etc.

I highly recommend this book. A little dry in spots but I liked it overall. It really adds to my collection. I recommend also "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football" for die-hard alumni and fans of football. It is an engaging read about not only Ga. but the entire conference.
