Iggy's Book List - SportsIggy's Book List - SportsFor many of the books listed below, I have included a link to that book in the Amazon.com catalog. This will help you to locate copies of some of the harder to find books.
If you would like to order more than one of the listed books through Amazon.com, I recommend that you select the link for the first book, add it to your Shopping Cart at Amazon.com's site, then return to this page and repeat the process for additional items. This will cause all the books to be put on one order and thus reduce the shipping costs per book.
I own a copy of all the books listed below (unless otherwise noted) and at least one copy of each periodical. I would be happy to answer any questions about them that you might have.

Total Football: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Football LeagueEditors: Bob Carroll, Michael Gershman, David NeftPublished by Harpercollins, September 1, 1997 My Book Review (As is posted on Amazon.com): Rating = 8 (out of 10) Impressive collection of NFL history and information Superb reference for the NFL. It fails, however, to make any mention of the pre-existing CFL. This, in my opinion is an oversight, given the recent expansion and withdraw of the CFL in the United States. The CFL deserves at least 1 page (out of the 1600+ pages in this book) in the "Other Leagues" Section. If the World Football League, USFL, and World League are worthy of a chapter here, the CFL deserves one too. The CFL is, afterall, now a part of American football history. Other than that, the authors require a spell chcker, oops, I mean spell checker. Content is superb, but the presentation style could have been thought out a little bit more. All in all, an impressive collection of information. Order or get more information from amazon.com |
