 Rating:  - farvre tribute bookI bought this item as a present for my husband in May so I thought I would buy another for a nephew. The second one (this order) came in slightly damaged on the corner because it wasn't packed properly. It was billed as a brand new book so I think it should have been perfect. Maybe it was dropped by the delivery person. Rating:  - BRETT FAVRE TRIBUTEI purchased this book for my son-in-law as he is a Green Bay fan. He loved it! Lots of colorful pictures, history and stats. The delivery was prompt and the whole ordering process was smooth.Sports Illustrated: Brett Favre: The Tribute (Sports Illustrated) Rating: - WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MANThis book is a gorgeous hardcover tribute to Brett Favre.
