Pure Pulp,

This review is from: College Football Stadiums: An Illustrated Guide to NCAA Division I-A (Paperback)
Another review for this book contends that you can "marvel at the pictures for hours." Absolutely correct. You can marvel at how poor the picture quality is. You can marvel at the terrible grade of paper used. Mostly, you can marvel at the fact that someone actually deemed this worth publishing.

This review is from: College Football Stadiums: An Illustrated Guide to NCAA Division I-A (Paperback)
First, let me clarify my passion for college football: I visit the websites of other teams just to learn their gameday traditions, I follow the stories and histories that make every Saturday game a 'big game,' -heck, I play college video games to "virtually" visit the 117 stadiums that are out there. So when I bought a book calling itself "An Illustrated Guide" to college stadiums, I expect to read a little more than technical data and some very mediocre B&W photos. This book seems slapped together with information that any halfway intellegent fan could look up on the internet (with color photos no less). Adding an extra layer of insult, the book, although published in 2000, still has stadium pictures that are more than several years out of date (i.e. stadiums built pre-1998 are still shown in their "model" phase). College Football Fan and Fanatics: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT waste your money on this book. Just look up the info on a search engine, you'll get way more information in a much nicer package (or you could buy the latest college football video game and see them all in virtual form). Anyway would be better than this book.
