A handy reference book to have around!

Who in known as Euro-Magic? What College is know as the Fighting Hurricanes? What was Julius Boros's nickname? Has the Golden Bear ever meet the Golden Jet? Well this book can certainly answers these questions.The complete book of sports nicknames is one of, if not the most, complete text ever written about nicknames. Comprehensive and detailed from a to z for both persons, teams and just about anything else related to sports.This book is not a novel that tells a story, what this book does, however, is give you a glimpse of the person or team and a brief synopsis of the meaning of the nickname. A very quick and easy read.Priced to fit anybody's budget this book will make and excellent gift for the true sports fan. Keep it by your side and you'll have a ready reference when someone asks What the nickname of George Halas?
