My most recently aquired book is the one entitled "Payton", written by Connie Payton and Walter's kids Jarret and Brittney. My own daughter went to a book signing and had Connie Payton personally autograph it for me....I LOVE THAT! There have been some good books published in the few years....Somebody wrote a "Tales From The Chicago Bears Sideline" book in 2002 and Steve McMichael followed up with his OWN "Tales From The Sidelines" in 2003. Obviously Steve had his own opinions...I bought the '63 Championship book at the Bears Convention last year in 2005 and Maury Yeamons (author/player) autographed it for me. I have yet to read it in it's entirety, which is the case with a few other of my books. Ditka has a new one...came out last Christmas..."In Life, First You Must Kick Ass"...I am looking forward to reading that one soon.
And, of course there was the 2000 "Never Die Easy" that came out shortly after Payton's death. I also own a few older books...the Ditka and Mcmahon books from the Super Bowl Era, "Calling The Shots" by Mike Singletary and "Stop Action", a 1972 book by Dick Butkus. I have the infamous "I Am Third" book about Sayers and Brian Piccolo...I have that in hardback, soft cover, as well as VHS, DVD and Special Edition Emmy Award DVD. My music video collection will have to be a whole 'nuther topic.
These aren't all of my books, just some. I will try and remember to add some later. The photos with the weird arrows were "borrowed" from Amazon.com
