4.0 out of 5 stars Great for what they are
I bought two or three for the house, they are perfect for use as an inconspicuous book safe when hollowed out with a Dremel. I keep the most prized portions of my Beanie Baby collection within.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't fall for it.
This item isn't real, it's just a ploy. They get your info (name and address) and then you disappear. It's an attempt to rid the world of fools. You've been warned!

5.0 out of 5 stars and I don't even like football, May 12, 2007
I bought this after reading Steve Weber's glowing review on Feedblitz.

Although I hate football and have never even seen a "Superball" (sic?),I realized this was the chance of a lifetime to purchase a collectible book which will surely appreciate, and soon!

It did break my glass coffee table, however. But that's a small price to pay, doncha think?

Can anyone tell me who the guys pictured in the book are and why they are there?

My copy is unclear on that point.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get rich quick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, January 31, 2007
Took my breath away.. really!

My dear Norman, the football fan, bought this for the coffee table. Such a lovely conversation piece. Only he won't allow anyone to touch it, let alone read it. I'm afraid he caught me reading it, at 2 AM, the other night, by flashlight. The ensuing battle of words was not pretty.

So, now I rather hate the dam thing. Not to mention the price. We are eating beans and rice for the next few years, until the Visa is paid down. Even though I can't read it, I love to run my finger over the hand-stitched leather edges, when Norman is in the john (sssshhhhh! Don't tell!)

It is really very beautiful.

thanks - have a lovely Superbowl Sunday, Sally

5.0 out of 5 stars 40 signatures, 40 thousand dollars., May 12, 2007
I also rushed out to get this book after reading Steven Weber's Feed Blitz. I am amazed, nay, astounded that a book like this exists. I know very little about football and only know about the Super Bowl from all that publicity about a "wardrobe malfunction", so this book has been very informative to me.

I don't even _have_ a coffee table for it sit on, but I am thinking about putting it near the bunny's cage as he really devours a good book - and several bad ones.

I am considering the experience of one of the other reviewers, hollowing it out with a Dremel and using it for my prized collection of pogs. Now I have to find somebody to lend me a Dremel and a few months mortgage payment so I can create a safe place for my pogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to get into American football, but don't know where to start?, May 28, 2009
This review is from: Super Bowl XL Opus Limited Edition (Leather Bound)
I know, I know. Most Americans know the nuances of the game of football, and follow the NFL to varying degrees. However this might surprise some of you, but I wasn't one of them, even though I've lived here my whole life. For whatever reason, I just couldn't get into the game; I guess I've always been more of a baseball fan. To clarify, it's not like I live in a cave or anything. I mean, I've played in fantasy leagues at the office, but never did well, because the statistics were like a foreign language to me. (I still don't understand why they use yards. It's called American football for a reason, idiots, quit using the metric system.)

Last month, that all changed, because of this insightful book. Of course, the book only deals with the Superbowl, so college football is hardly mentioned, but now I know that each side has eleven players! It's the simple stuff that this book really shines a light on.

I don't recommend it for anyone who regularly watches the game, because the games it uses as examples are historic, so you can just look up the results on Wikipedia, if you forgot them. But if you are out of the loop on this sport, I can't think of anything better for a neophyte who wants to learn more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hold out for the XXXL Opus MVP VIP TI/TIP Edition, January 20, 2009
Once again, the quest to get Super Saver Shipping has added another item to my cart. Little do they know they are shipping it to Middleofnowhere, WV, at extra cost to them. Suckas!

Rumor has it the XXXL Edition has Joe Namath gin & tonic tumbler rings in several spots and Lynn Swann blew his nose on five separate chapter intro pages (kids, can you find them all?)

This will go nicely displayed predominantly in your yacht's library. Be sure to re-upholster the furniture to match your copy!
