Good Info on Ninner History

For those who like, (or love) SF 49er history, this is a very good book. It is a well written account of the Ninners from 1946- through 2003. Not only are there many good Pics, (both game and off-field), but lots of news paper, team letters, ticket stubs, programs and poster materials. In fact, the photos (all B & W) are the best part of this book. I enjoyed it so much I bought a copy for my 82 year old brother who is still an active Ninner fan, (having attended a 1948 AAFC game at Kezar between the Browns & Ninners when he got out of the Navy). I have followed the Ninners since 1962 and I recommend this for Ninners fans of Ninner history.
