I was surprised how much depth there is in the 40-year story—the layout and design really let the photos and timelines breathe. It feels more like a museum exhibit than a typical sports book.

The archival photos scattered through this thing are worth it alone — I kept stopping to just stare at a few. It's a coffee-table book that actually earns its place on the coffee table, if that makes sense.

The 40-year partnership angle is what sold me, and the authorized photos and archive material actually live up to it. I've flipped through the early-era spreads twice already.
