This is a well-written book with many details about the history of the game and players. There are photos throughout the book that document important plays, events, and people. I have been a football fan for almost 20 years, but there are many things I do not know. I bought this book to learn more about the game. It is a great "coffee table" book that I plan to keep in sight so that I can constantly refer to it.

Bought this for my brother as a Christmas gift. He and I are both into sports, so when I received it, I thought it was so great I wanted one for myself. Lots of information, great file photos.
