Great gift but I guess it has been sitting in a warehouse for sometime because all of the glued items are falling out of the book. I'm returning!

Any dedicated follower of the University of Georgia and its historic football team should own this book and proudly display it on their coffee table. Starting back towards the end of the 20th century, this book shows photographs and talks about the men and women that contributed to Georgia football. The book is like a vault. When you turn its pages, precious memories of the University and Georgia football spillout. There's even a picture of the Varsity and Dean Tate. It talks about the Georgia greats, both young and old. It even has a rare photo of Poss's BBQ before it burned down each spring just to be miraculously rebuilt before the begining of Fall quarter each year. The reproductions of tickets and other items almost places you in this special age. Yes, it's great to be a Georgia Bulldawg! Great memories, great book, great enjoyment.

I love all the "Vault" books -- it is a great series, and the SEC titles are all well worth the investment for hardcore fans of specific teams, which is why I recommend this book to any Georgia Bulldogs fan. I bought it for my dad as a birthday gift, and because this book literally is a vault of great Georgia football memories we spent hours in conversation reliving many of our favorite moments. In that respect, well worth the investment -- but this is a coffee table book, too, and pricey. There are a lot of good Georgia books on the market right now and if it is the history of the program you want in a quick, easy but entertaining read, I suggest you check out this new title I just read this past week: UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA FOOTBALL: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports by the Numbers)
