Players Books

In a sport where intelligence is not the first thing that comes to mind, Bill Curry stands apart. Smart, witty, and engaging, the seeds for Curry's career as a broadcaster can be seen here. But, more than anything, Curry is a born coach, and his return to the sidelines is a plus for college athletics.

The other stunning thing about the book is the title, ONE MORE JULY. Now training camps don't start until the end of July and the season doesn't end until February. Again, the marketing of the NFL has not been for the better. The football was better in the 1970s for players and fans alike.

A forgotten classic.

If you're into football, like entertainment stories (fact), this is a must read. I read this book back in the early 1990's & it is just the best. i still have my copy & reread it once a year. Still makes me chuckle. I am now ordering a few more copies, for my football friends. It's a cross country (in a car) interview with Bill Curry (Center for Green Bay) & George Plimpton. Includes an interlude with Sandy Kofax, among other game athletic stars. (Interesting & funny read!) This is at least one of my all time favorite books, if not my favorite!! Do not miss, if you love football.

I have read a fair amount of material about the game of One Pocket. This book covers all that the player needs for a basic understanding on how to set and WIN a game.

Here is serious and comprehensive look into the game of One-Pocket. Amongst those that play this game, it is considered the consumate test of one's offensive, defensive and execution skills. The format of diagrammed game situations, shot choice, and the strategy behind shot choices, is excellent. Commentary and anaylsis by some of the worlds greats at this game, exemplify the diverse, complex, and intense skills required to improve at this game. This book gives the reader insite, direction, and the tools to better understand and apply the strategies of One-pocket.

This book is a must have for any fan of Demon the Fallen. Rules for designing apocalyptic forms are fully written out as are the purpose that each of the apocalyptic forms played in creation. There are many other highly usefull things in this book...but I won't list them all. This book is very helpful for anyone who needs help, or wants rules for truely customizing their character. This book also has suprisingly few typos for a White Wolf book.

I like his players guide just as I like all White Wolf products. The Players Guide puts out a lot of good information and gives a beter understanding of te "how" and more importantly the "why" of the game. If your into the White Wol universe ad are going to use "The Fallen" as antagoist (I love them for my HUNTER seesions, my players are puzzled as they haven't goten online with Demon yet) get this book!

This book helps explain the inner workings of the underworld, as well as give new Aracnos and explinations for lands beyond the Stygian Underworld.

This book is second in importance only to the Wraith: The Oblivion core rules. Containing tons of background information, new uses for Arcanoi (and three entirely new "lost" Arcanoi), new character and Shadow archetypes, and even a guide to playing Wraith in other cultures' lands of the dead, there is something in here for everybody.

This book is an absolute must-have for any serious Wraith player.

Its fantastic to finally have a source book for the "forgotten" characters... the social outcasts and eyesores. These characters are the most challanging to play and this author brings new depth to role playing a pirah. James Moore's constant tongue in cheek humor keeps the book interesting and enjoyable. The new information available makes creating a "socially unacceptable" character much easier and offers many new avenues to choose from

One another great hing about this book is that you can mix up a little the enviroment the players are used to play. Getting Vampire and Werewolf players to play togueter was a great idea, except for the fact that the vampire players were complaining that the "Lupines" were kicking their asses, but it was fun anyway. It's a great book.

This book fills in the many blanks that researchers need for the Green Bay Packers! A MUST read for any Packers fan!!

Divided into 99 chapters, one for each number, Packers By The Numbers: Jersey Numbers And The Players Who Wore Them by John Maxymuk specifically profiles famous players of the Wisconsin Green Bay Packer football team as arranged by the assigned numbers on their football jerseys. Concise yet packed from cover to cover with information and statistics, Packers By The Numbers is an engaging, easy-to-pick-up reference which is most especially recommended for dedicated Packers fans!

Tom LeClair's witty and entertaining novel of basketball's minor and euro leagues is so much more than the candid and humorous tour of garbage ball it starts out as. A hanger-on point guard jumps from the CBA and college recruitment schtick to "pro ball" in Athens, where he unwittingly becomes involved in an eco-terrorist plot. LeClair's real triumph isn't the wonderful depiction of Michael Keever running the point on the floor (and LeClair's depiction of the game is criminally strong) but that same character's ability to weave through the complex human drama surrounding him and go to the hole. Brilliant, satisfying novel.

Don't even think about picking this book up unless you've got a weekend to kill. Mr. LeClaire is a highly skilled writer expert at creating empathy for his main character, excellent dialogue, and gripping suspense. The book follows the exploits of Michael Keever, an American with almost NBA potential who plays for a Greek professional team. Keever occupies the spot on the team reserved for foreign players with Greek ancestry. His only problem: he isn't Greek and a mysterious woman knows his secret. If Keever's ancestry is determined before he collects his bonus, all of his hard work will be for nought. Thus, Keever, is forced to use his basketball-honed deception skills both on and off the court. If you like suspense, you'll love passing off.

It's the perfect book for the young reader. Great book for a book report for the elementary school children. My son enjoyed the book and learned a lot about his favorite football player.

We struggled to find books on Payton Manning at our local libraries and even the larger-chain bookstores... nobody had anything useful on their shelves for a grade-school book report. So we bought this one online and it was perfect. It was easy enough for my 3rd-grader to read, and is filled with enough useful information for a book report on Payton's life and accomplishments.

This is probobly the best phantasy star guide for the best phantasy star game ever.

Contrary to the general opinion, Genesis games can be quite hard and quite long, perhaps even as long as some of the PS and N64 games. Something like PhSIV definitely needed a thoughrough guide, and it got one. This guide is perfect (if you can get it for a reasonable price) - the maps are good, the strats are good, it follows the storyline and even gives you insights on parts you might have missed (and you will miss plenty). Best of all, the guide never gives you too much, and even when you think that you've learned everything about the game from this book, there is always something else to learn.

Author of "Stories for a Stormy Night, Vol. 1."

I just finished reading "The Piano Player" written by Guy Verreault.
It is a delightful tale of mystery and adventure as we follow Jacob Shreiber, a private eye, solve case after case. His current one has him looking into the sudden killing of a piano player named Carl Murdoch. The death appears highly suspicious, and as Jacob starts probing around, his search draws him deep into unsavory circumstances. He must deal with a religious group referring to themselves as "the sons of God" and eventually finds himself prying into the shady world of the Mafia itself, headed by Vito Profacini.
In the course of his investigation, Jacob must confront thugs and a host of other obstacles, the more serious of these being the several attempts that are made on his life.
Jacob is fortunate enough to have close ties with Lieutenant Jones of the LAPD and Don Ryle of the FBI. This makes him privy to critical information, which would have otherwise been inaccessible to him. Using the clues he gathers, Jacob is a methodical worker and stays on a case even when everyone else is ready to give up.
Mr. Verreault keeps the action moving at a dizzying pace. He spikes the story with a slew of cases that grab the reader's attention. It keeps one guessing as to what will come next and compels one to read on.
The ending turns out totally different to what the reader would have expected and catches one fully by surprise.
"The Piano Player" is truly a great read.
