The picture here does not even begin to do this volume justice. This is a beautiful book that comes in a sturdy and attractive box. It's as much scrapbook as it is history book. Inside the book, in addition to the wonderful photographs and narrative account of the history of Gator football, there are many, many artifacts that come in little pockets on almost every page. There is a replica of the ticket to the national championship game, a copy of Steve Spurrier's handwritten resignation announcement, a copy of the actual stats sheet from the 1966 Auburn game that secured the Heisman for Spurrier, a felt pennant from the 1950s, a copy of the card that Urban Meyer had each player carry with him during the days leading up to the 2006 championship game....the list goes on and on. Each page has a new surprise. Norm Carlson, longtime SID and Gator historian, has done every Gator fan a huge favor by putting together this remarkable "vault" of Gator memorabilia.

This is a fabulous compilation of all things Gator. I bought copies for my parents and all my siblings for Christmas, and they have all raved about how awesome the book is. Packed full of history spanning the decades since the very beginning of UF and the Gators, this book will be a welcome addition to any faithful Gator fan's collection.

This is an amazing collection of Gator history. I highly recommend it as a gift to any Gator. We bought it for our son-in-law and are having a hard time giving it up! Enjoy!

What a great gift to give a Gator Fan.

The books contains things you could never imagine.

Alot of memories from years ago.

This is a great book. I received one for my birthday a few years ago. I purchased this one for a friend to give to his son. This is a wonderful for a Gator fan or for a gift to a Gator friend. Price was also super as the price when they first came out was for either $45.99 or $49.99.

If you like University of Florida Football and history, but this book today. It contains replicas of actual game-day tickets and stat sheets, as well as a thorough breakdown of Gator football history broken down by decade. Great coffee table book.

I purchased this item because it was stated as "like new". It was far from it. First, it was missing the sleeve/box, actual vault that the book is kept in but really, no big deal. Then I start to open the book and realize something brown and sticky had been spilled in/on it. All the pages were stained and stuck together. When I start to slowly pull the pages apart they tear. Also, as I pull the pages apart the pockets and so forth inside the book tear off. I spent almost three hours pulling pages apart and regluing the pockets inside.

I ended up buying a brand new one. It's fabulous! Great gift! Just sorry I didn't go that route to begin with.

As a long time follower of the University of Florida football team, this is an excellent item to have. Just the stuff which can be removed from it and looked over is amazing. My hat is off to everyone involved in this intricate production. The photos alone are worth it for a Gator fan. Be prepared to devote an evening to it, possibly while watching a selected dismantling of your favorite foe. I read it while watching the last meeting between Georgia and Florida, aka Urban's reply.

The book itself was awesome, but Amazon was unable to deliver the book to me in good condition. Amazon.com claimed the book was brand-new and in excellent condition, but when I received the book, it was all beat up and scratched.

Great product with fast shipping. Can't beat the price. Total cost after shipping was cheaper than buying in store on sale! Would definately buy from seller again!
