The Super Bowl: Celebrating a Quarter-Century of America's Greatest Game

The Super Bowl may have produced some of the most excessive hype--and some of the least dramatic games--of any championship contest in any sport. The hype continues with this lavish silver-anniversary volume, its text composed by six sportswriters and supplemented with 26 drawings and more than 100 photos, most in color. In addition to a discussion and analysis of each of the 24 previous games, pages of vital statistics cover everything from the way the points are scored to the officials involved. The result is exactly what the NFL could hope for: an opulent book that fans of professional football would be delighted to find under their Christmas trees. $250,000 ad/promo. (Oct.)
