farvre tribute book
I bought this item as a present for my husband in May so I thought I would buy another for a nephew. The second one (this order) came in slightly damaged on the corner because it wasn't packed properly. It was billed as a brand new book so I think it should have been perfect. Maybe it was dropped by the delivery person.

BRETT FAVRE TRIBUTE
I purchased this book for my son-in-law as he is a Green Bay fan. He loved it! Lots of colorful pictures, history and stats. The delivery was prompt and the whole ordering process was smooth.Sports Illustrated: Brett Favre: The Tribute (Sports Illustrated)

WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN
This book is a gorgeous hardcover tribute to Brett Favre. Looks like a coffee table book that would be a great gift to fans of his, and most football fans, in general. Compilation of Sports Illustrated articles about Favre, with beautiful photos throughout. Great book to get your sons to read if you have trouble engaging them in reading. Very nice tribute to a sports figure who is a good example of hard work, dedication, balance, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
