Customer Reviews

Great gift for the sports enthusiast

I searched for weeks for a sports book for my husband for Chirstmas. This is exactly what I was looking for and he loves it! Wonderful/inspirational stories. The only way it could be better if it was offered as a 'books on CD'. He travels in the car a lot and I would have loved it if he could listen to the stories while driving.
