Description

"NFL Treasures" is a written and pictorial celebration of one the most spectacular sports. Every week from September to December, hundreds of thousands of fans flock to massive arenas to watch the near gladiatorial combat that is a modern NFL game. This book follows the history of pro football, particularly the NFL, from its foundation in 1919, through the Depression, the Second World War, fighting off rival leagues, through to the modern day. In addition to the narrative history running through the book, there are features on a variety of topics, highlighting subjects that explain the league's popularity. In addition to the lively and instructive text, hundreds of carefully chosen photographs from the NFL archives bring the stories to life. And, making this book unique, there are 20 items of removable facsimile memorabilia from the Pro Football Hall of Fame giving the reader a greater appreciation of the game. "The Official Treasures of the National Football League" is a Super Bowl winning book that all can enjoy.
