This fall, the highly popular ‘101 Reasons to Love’ series finally tackles football with a tribute to one of the most beloved teams in the U.S: 101 Reasons to Love the Packers (September 2012) by David Green. Stunningly illustrated and filled with fascinating essays on the history of the team, this is the Packers memorabilia book fans have been waiting for!
Here’s a little more about the book from Abrams Books (Facebook and Twitter):
The Green Bay Packers are the last of the small-town teams that were once common in the NFL. The Pack and their fans, the devoted Cheeseheads, have won 13 league championships (more than any other team in the NFL), including 9 NFL championships prior to the Super Bowl era and 4 Super Bowl victories. Their stellar roster—Bart Starr, Ray Nitschke, Paul Hornung, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and of course, legendary coach Vince Lombardi—are all here, making history on the “frozen tundra” of Lambeau Field.
101 Reasons to Love the Packers captures the unforgettable games, historic moments, and the larger-than-life personalities who have helped define the sport of professional football. Accompanied by stunning vintage and contemporary photography and memorabilia, this book is a treasure for casual football fans and devoted Packer fans, alike.
