101 Workouts for Women: Everything You Need to Get a Lean, Strong and Fit Physique 12 reviews
Triumph Books, 2008
Great addition to an existing fitness routine!!
I've got a current fitness routine that I follow, but wanted to add to it when I had the time and energy. This book is the perfect addition as it is broken down by body part and the routines are relatively short yet challenging. I can pick a workout from this book based on what I did earlier in the day so that I don't burn out the same body parts on one day. The routines seem to be geared to ...

Everybody who is now or has ever been a Chicago Cub's fan needs to own this book, which comes with a great video of exciting moments in Cub's history. The stories and photos are priceless. A special tribute to WGN Chicago for their T.V. coverage of Cub's Baseball for the last 60 years.

Road Warriors: The New York Giants Incredible 2007 Championship Season 6 reviews
New York Post
Triumph Books, 2008
How sweet it is.
For any Giant fan this is icing on the cake. Well written and lavishly illustrated the book will be a great memento. You will be able to relive what is arguably the G-men's most rewarding season. I am sure that it will not be a best seller in Patriot land.

101 Workouts: Everything You Need to Get a Lean, Strong and Fit Physique5 reviews
Triumph Books, 2008
Awesome Gym-Bible. Excellent Resource for Ideas!
Albeit not for a new gym member, this book is absolutely phenomenal for ideas on how to mix up your workout. Lots of new moves you hadn't thought of, to hit that muscle a new way. I didn't read much of the text, since that's not what I bought the book for - the pictures and workout ideas are organized well, and gave me the motivation to go all out next time. True - the models look roided out, but ...

The Code: Baseball's Unwritten Rules and It's Ignore-at-Your-Own-Risk Code of Conduct1 review
Ross Bernstein
Triumph Books, 2008
Book Intro from the author, Ross Bernstein
Like hockey, baseball too has its own sacred code of honor. While it differs somewhat in scope from its icy brethren, the baseball code, like hockey, is also all about respect and disrespect. Baseball is a game steeped in tradition with rules dating back to the game's inception more than 150 years ago. Yet, while the code has been around since the early days of the game, it still remains a ...

Favre: The Man, the Legend with CD
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Triumph Books, 2008
Brett Favre arrived in Green Bay in 1992 with a name many Green Bay Packers fans couldn't pronounce; he retired after the 2007 season with a name most Packers fans will never forget. Few players in NFL history have played the game with the dedication, passion, and little-boy enthusiasm that the strong-armed, free-spirited gunslinger from Kiln, Mississippi, demonstrated on the field, winning not only the love of the fans, but the respect and ...

Boggle Brainbusters: The Ultimate Word-Search Puzzle Book6 reviews
David L. Hoyt
Triumph Books (IL), 2006
Wonderful for the entire family to play plus educational
My entire family has enjoyed this game. Often you find that you can't put it down - got to finish this one last puzzle. This book is also educational as it teaches younger children how to spell words correctly when you sit with them to help them find words. To bad there isn't more Boggle books!

Why Is the Stanley Cup in Mario Lemieux's Swimming Pool?: How Winners Celebrate With the World's Most Famous ...6 reviews
Kevin Allen
Triumph Books, 2001
WOW, what a cool book!
This is one of the coolest books I have ever read. Being a hockey nut, I just ate these stories up like no tomorrow. You don't need to be a crazy fan like myself to enjoy the stories though. The Stanley Cup is definately the most well traveled hunk of silver around and its story is still being written. The Cup means so much more that just winning and this book illustrates just how important ...

Do We Need Another Book About The Brooklyn Dodgers? Yes!
Forests have been felled with books written about the much beloved Brooklyn Dodgers. Roger Kahn, Carl Erskine, Red Barber, and numerous others have relished telling us what life was like with Brooklyn baseball, especially from the years 1947 through 1957. In addition, numerous authors have written about Jackie Robinson. However, author Dennis D'Agostino and Bonnie Crosby, daughter of Barney ...

Then Junior Said to Jeff--: The Best NASCAR Stories Ever Told5 reviews
Jim McLaurin
Triumph Books, 2006
Makes drivers more human
For Nascar fans like me Poole takes us behind the scenes and gives us some idea of what the drivers are like. Beware that the stories arent all comical or anything like that. But if you're into racing, it provides a depth that humanizes the drivers, warts included.
You know what?
There has to be more stories than just here. Mr Poole oughtta hurry up and write a sequel.

A must read for the new hockey fan
being new hockey fans it has often been confusing as to why some penalties are called and some things aren't. Hearing long time fans complaining about calls that seem obvious. why is fighting allowed in hockey but not other team sports. This book does an excellent job of explaining how hockey has evolved and the reasons behind a lot of the actions on the ice. Definately opens up another line ...

Twice is Nice.
I have both the Boston Globe and Boston Herald books on the 2007 Sox win and found the Globe version much superior. The book is divided into sections on the World Series, ALCS, Division Series and 07 season. Each section begins with a brief narrative from Globe columnists ( 2 written by Edes and one each by Shaughnessy and Macmullan.) In each case, this is followed by a collection of full page ...

Billy Williams: My Sweet-Swinging Lifetime With the Cubs1 review
Billy Williams, Fred Mitchell

A Classy Book about a Classy Ballplayer
It is an honor to be the first person to review this excellent book about the life of Billy Williams. In an age of baseball books called Vindicated and stories of steroids and other sordid aspects of the game it is refreshing to read this book about a player who exemplified class and a love for the game of baseball and a love for one woman his entire adult life.
I am a lifelong Cubs fan and I ...
