   The pictures were fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane in college football. It brought back memories of college football as I remember it back in the 40s and 50s when I was growing up.

   My son, an 11 year old football addict and voracious reader, loves this book. He had the pro version from last year and asked for the college version this year at Christmas. The book is filled with beautiful pictures and is a nice size, coffee table type book but with history and facts. A great gift for a football fan!

   This book has great photography, as you would expect from SI, but also some great writing, also not a surprise from SI. For the price, this was a steal and I would recommend it for every college football fan.
