In The University of Notre Dame Football VaultTM The History of the Fighting Irish, John Heisler introduces readers to the legendary history of one of America s most admired and talked-about college football programs.

Reproductions include a 1924 ticket to Notre Dame's first bowl game, handwritten Rockne play diagrams from the 1930's, a bumper sticker from the 1973 National Championship, and a ticket to the 1997 Notre Dame Stadium Rededication Game. Never before has the history of the Fighting Irish been told in such a vivid, graphic, and entertaining format. Illustrated; Hardcover; 144 pages

I purchased this collection for my Father In-Law, a devout ND fan, for Christmas. It was highly recommended by the Notre Dame Alumni site and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who might be interested!

I wouldn't recommend this book. the ephemera will interest some fans but they focused on this trivia at the expense of production quality, which is lousy. My copy started to come apart a week after I got it. Several pages are falling out and the printing is second rate. This is not a $50 book!

Bought this vault for my husband who is a huge Notredame fan. The book is filled with endless facts and history about the team and its fun to read because of all the inserts it has from tickets to newspaper clippings, all sorts of fun stuff.
