Readers of Sports Illustrated are familiar with Iooss's work, the best of which from the last two decades is reproduced here with notable clarity. Here are pre-teen boys playing during school recess and in the Pop Warner League, college athletes and NFL stars. Most of the photos are dazzling action shots but some are of stars like Jack Tatum, John Matuszak and Jack Lambert in repose. The text by Jenkins (Semi-Tough not only covers his own career but also offers glimpses of Bobby Layne, Dan Marino, Sonny Jurgensen, Joe Namath and Vince Lombardi. This is an ideal gift for the grid fan. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates.
