Is there a good Chiefs book worth buying?
 

I got some Amazon.com gift cards for Christmas and need to go shopping. I don't have any Chiefs history or encyclopedia like I do the Royals.

Amazon carries these:

* Kansas City Chiefs Encyclopedia by Mark Stallard (Hardcover - Oct 2004)

*Warpaths: The Illustrated History of the Kansas City Chiefs by Alan Hoskins (Hardcover - Aug 25, 1999)

*The History of Kansas City Chiefs: NFL Today by Brian Hawkes (Hardcover - Aug 2004)

Does anybody have these? Anybody know if they're worth owning?

Thanks


BTW, I've already passed on Carl Peterson's "Hail to Me, the Chief: My Five-year Plan to Create a Dynasty"

i think otis taylor wrote a book u might wanna check that out

I keep meaning to pick up Otis Taylor's book, and am embarrassed that I haven't.

Must be this one:

The Need to Win: Football from My Own Heart by Otis Taylor and Mark Stallard (Hardcover - Aug 25, 2003) - Illustrated


GACK!!! Look what they're pairing it with:

Buy this book with Romo: My Life on the Edge--Living Dreams and Slaying Dragons by Bill Romanowski

Dear lord. That must be stopped RIGHT NOW.

Does SI have a video out detailing our rise to mediocrity?

I'd settle for toilet paper with Carl Peterson's face embossed on each sheet.

GACK is right!!!!!!

I have this one,good book.It looks as though Amazon has it in a combo package with the KC Chiefs Encyclopedia

Arrowhead: Home of the Chiefs is a monument to imaginative and aesthetic sports arena architecture, still after 25 seasons. While other arenas of its era are being replaced, Arrowhead continues to draw compliments as the best there is for football. Relive 25 years of Kansas City Chiefs football history in Arrowhead: Home of the Chiefs, the official history of the Kansas City Chiefs and Arrowhead Stadium.

These are good I hear.

siberian, I have all 3 of those books and they are worth it. They have some good information in them and good pictures. Worth the time to get them IMO.

I got a Hank Stram book for Christmas.

"They're Playing My Game..."

If it's about the Chiefs we already know the outcome. It's mediocre.

Underthrow, by Trent Green.

Out of Position, by Greg Wesley

How to Master the Mistackle, by Kendrell Bell

Achieving Greatness: My Rise to the Ring of Fame, by Jack Steadman

available in pamphlet form?

I really liked Marcus Allen's autobiography. It's not exclusively about the Chiefs and their history, though.

Beat me to it........great book and one should be able to bean one off of Ebay or some place like that for nothing.

Fifteen Minutes of Fame by Damon Huard

The Three Page Playbook by Mike Solari

You Play to Win the Game by Herman Edwards

Consistency by Lawrence Tynes

Bitches I've ****ed by Rich Scanlon (14,354 pages, hardcover, complete with photos)

i was talking about the otis taylor book. that actually has some form of success in it

Diary of an Angry Black Man by Larry Johnson

I read "Lenny Dawson, SB QB" about 35 years ago.

"Diary of someone without the balls to post a poll because he know it will end in his banning" by GoQueef.

Whatchyootalkin' bout, Simplex? He posted that, and America voted.....He stayed. Kind of like Clay Gaykin. A novelty at first, but then considered a significant contributor.


BTW, I have the Chiefs Encyclopedia. A good book for catchingup with the past, and for combating know-it-all's in this board.

I got this for Christmas last year. It is really what it says, an encyclopedia. History, season by season recaps, player bios, all time rosters, summaries of some games, stats for every year, draft lists for every year, complete team record book. There are many photos, which are in black and white, but good. I like it. Big hardcover book of 450 pages.

I have this one and a couple others, but my absolute favorite is Gameface by Hank Young.

Excellent choice...he's doing one more, then retiring.

I have Bob Gretz's book, "Hail to the Chief."
