5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to look at, entertain with, November 3, 2008

By	Mark Adams (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews

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)

Bought this for my dad, what a great book. It contains an amazing history
of UGA football and has fun tidbits tucked inside like a scrapbook.
I'd recommend this for any UGA fan that "has everything". This is one item they are sure to love.

What do you keep in a vault? Treasures? Well, this vault contains treasures for the Bulldog fan! I bought three of these and the recipients were very happy with the gift! Loren Smith is a well-known Georgia 'landmark' and has been Larry Munson's sideline sidekick for years. I can still hear Larry Munson saying, "How about it, Loren?" He has compiled a wonderful collection to bring the history of Georgia football alive for all who read it. Thanks, Loren!
