Book Reviews of Total Patriots: The Definitive Encyclopedia of the World-Class Franchise
Book Review: Touchdown Patriots!
Summary: 5 Stars
Both the venerable Boston Patriots and celebrated New England Patriots deserve this book. It is comprehensive, entertaining, and a must-have for any serious Patriots fan. For less than the price of a parking space at Gillette Stadium you get the club's entire history in one volume. The timing for the publication for this book couldn't be better as the 50th anniversary celebration of the AFL underscores the humble but colorful origins of the Pats. It is appropriate that the best run team in the NFL now has the best encyclopedia ever devoted to an NFL franchise.
