Great story
This item arrived quickly and in good condition. This is more 'times' than 'life', but the combination works well and delivers a great book.

A great read even for non-sports lovers
I am not a sports person. Except as sports figures have impacted the subjects I am interested in-I know Denny McLain was a good lounge organist who recorded fine albums; Joe DiMaggio was the second husband of Marilyn Monroe, was destroyed by her death (as was his son, then in the Marines), and possessed a bigger part of male anatomy than Secretariat; Thurman Munson was killed in one of the first ...

Gay's Tiger review
I had been looking for this book since last June, as a gift for my son. He finally received it before Christmas and seems to be enjoying it very much. I was in his home when he received it and that was a pleasure for me. The book was in good shape, looked like new although I was told it wasn't. Appreciate your help in solving my problem...

A must for football fans
The GM is a tad slow in the beginning, but really picks up the pace after a couple of chapters. It's a great behind the scenes look into the Giants, and really any NFL team. Every football fan, and Giant fans in particular, owe it to themselve to read this book.

A Fun, Light Read
I picked up this book for some quick summertime reading and was truly happy. This book is a sleeper and should get better press. Great characters and a storyline with lots of action and ups and down. Great women characters -- I almost would think the writers are women. Lots of local New Orleans color and plenty of history.
