4.0 out of 5 stars
An Americana-lovers must have reference book., August 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Packer Fan(atic) Handbook (Paperback)
A friend handed me this book knowing full well that I am not a Packers fan or even a football fan. I am, however, a fan of Americana - like a Hot Dog stand that looks like a hot dog, weird social commentary t-shirts and such. THIS BOOK IS AMERICANA. In a strange society-understanding way it brings clarity to why so many people become possessed by the spirit of their home-town football team. The story by Cheryl Paronto Paul on being a Packer Cheerleader is a must-read for understanding the Barbie frame-of-mind. The jokes are SO BAD they are great (you know what I mean). For anyone who has wanted to find a deeper meaning into the reasons why an average guy from a small town in the heartland of America would paint himself green and stand in sub-zero tempretures to NOT see a game because he has to huddle inside a warm bathroom stall every few minutes, I can't think of a better source than this book.Ladies, give this book to your guy (no matter what team he roots for) to let him know you understand his pain.

The ultimate book for Cheeseheads with a sense of humor., August 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Packer Fan(atic) Handbook (Paperback)
This is the funniest Packer book that I have ever read. Not only are there great jokes, but there are also really cool antidotes by people associated with the Packers. (I especially liked the story by Brett Farve's brother and the one by the former Packer cheerleader). If you love the Packers, you owe it to yourself to read this book.

A funny, irreverent tribute to the Packers., August 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Packer Fan(atic) Handbook (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I think any Packer fan will. I loved the jokes and cartoons, the stats on old players, and most of all the story about that Packalope guy (I've actually seen him at a game or two!). Read this book, it's sweet!

The best book about the Packers yet., August 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Packer Fan(atic) Handbook (Paperback)
It's been a while since I followed the Green Bay Packers, but when I picked up this book, I became a rabid fan all over again. I loved the tributes to the old Packer greats, and the jokes and fun photos were a real treat too (check out the old Packeretts photo). If you consider yourself an Packer fan, order this book NOW!!!

A must-read for Packer fans everywhere!, August 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Packer Fan(atic) Handbook (Paperback)
As a big fan of the Green Bay Packers, I immediately went crazy for The Packer Fanatic Hand book. If you're looking for some side-splitting entertainment, this is the book for you. Honestly, I laughed until I was in pain.
