Shrines visually disappointing November 16, 2005 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I must admit, I was quite looking forward to receiving this book. In turn, I was somewhat disappointed when I did. While the commentary and general narrative was reasonably informative, I found the photographic quality, selection, and placement somewhat disappointing. As for the picture quality - I can't say whether that is attributable to photography or printing. As for the photograph selection and placement - I thought many (while relevant to the respective stadiums' pageantry) should have been subordinated or given a back seat to truly dazzling large photographs that would have displayed the entire or at least most of the subject stadium. Great clear colorful aerials instead of cropped photos of fans and marching bands. Some of the book did have that, but in this reader's opinion, not enough. Perhaps the book could have been made on an even larger scale to allow this, whether that would mean more pages and a larger overall profile. I would pay double or more for that. For many, including me, the photograph quality, selection and placement are important factors in making such a purchase. If I had seen it in a bookstore instead of purchasing it online, I would not have bought it. Loved the idea, but not as much the execution.
Love it! Great Gift! November 1, 2005 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I think this is a great book for any college football fan. I like the way the book is organized. All the facts and memories on each stadium make it a good and easy read.
