Super Bowl Trivia is great for testing your SB memories.
Super Bowl Trivia is terrific for any gathering of football fans, when watching a pre-season or regular season game, and particularly the Super Bowl when you have a bunch of people over. It's "fan" tastic as a host or hostess gift for a football gathering.Some of the questions in Super Bowl Trivia are tough; most are fun, and the range of topics, from announcers to women (yes, women in Super Bowl history) is incredible. I'd love to see this as a CD-ROM game, or even a board game! Obviously, a lot of research went into Super Bowl Trivia. Wonderful book! ... Read more

Save Your Money!
The author pitches this as a Yankee-oriented crossword puzzle book.That is true on the most superficial level.The number of clues related to the Yankees or baseball in general is minimal.In their place are such inspired cles as "Is that _____?"Answer: "a no" (ANO).This puzzle book is just lame.

Cool and challenging.
This is a different gift to give a Yankee fan, but they need to know plenty of trivia.

Nice crossword puzzle book
I can't agree with the one other review on here.This was given as a gift to an 80 year old Yankees fan whohappens to LOVE crossword puzzles.The spiral binding is perfect to lay the book flat to do the puzzle.It's colorful and well put together.I didn't find this pricey at all and well within our price range for the unique one of a kind Yankees gift for the 'older' fan who doesn't need anything.Some of the trivia is fairly challenging, it's not too often we're stumped on a question.Highly recommended for a crossword puzzle fan, especially a YANKEES fan!

Fun for the die-hard fan!
It's a bit pricey for what you actually receive though.There are only 25 crossword puzzles (very thin book) with solutions. It would've been a better value either without the spiral binding - just a simple glued binding listed at least half of this price, or twice as many puzzles with the spiral binding. ... Read more
