SynopsisThe Unforgettable Buzz is the first and only book ever written on the topic of Electric Football. Yet it's about much more than just a game. It's about receiving the best Christmas gift ever - that's what Electric Football means to millions of boys who grew up between 1950 and 1980. But it's also about how Tudor Metal Products President Norman Sas established Electric Football as one of the longest running and most beloved games in all of toy history. Under Norman's guidance Tudor's line of NFL Electric Football games spent a decade as NFL Properties' top-earning item. No other toy can make such a claim. Authors Earl Shores and Roddy Garcia have spent over a decade carefully weaving the timelines of Electric Football, Baby Boomer culture, and the NFL into perhaps the most complete "toy story" ever written. With over 300 images and a stunning cover-to-cover design by Marvel Graphic Artist Michael Kronenberg, Christmas morning is always just a page-turn away in The Unforgettable Buzz., "The Unforgettable Buzz is a thoroughly researched and cleverly written study of electric football. Every Baby Boomer who played the game - and that's all of us - will love this book." - Ray Didinger, Pro Football Hall of Fame Sportswriter and NFL Films Emmy Award Winning Writer and Producer "This is such a great book. It immediately took me back to those special moments of my childhood. Shores and Garcia have done their homework in opening a sacred portal to the past." - Rick Burton, David B.

As informative as it is, I was expecting a bit more color in photos as well as color. The narrative is a bit dry but if it's facts and figures you seek, this is the book for you.
