Super Star
Do you want to read about a "NFL Great" then you should read this book. The book name is Sports Great Troy Aikman. The author of this book is Glen Macnow. This is a great book for all sports fans.
The author described this book really well. It gave really good detail. At one time the author almost had me believing that I was in Troy Aikman's head by describing what he was thinking in the Super Bowl game of XXVII.
Another reason this book is really good is because it talks about his whole career, from his High School days to his NFL star days.This book takes you through his life and all the decision's h had to make to become a star.
This book tells you everything about Troy Aikman and his career. This book also shows you to never give up on your dream, that it might come true. If you want to read about a "NFL Great" then you should read this book.

A Book All Cowboys Fans Must Own
This is a beautiful book that all Cowboys should own. being a Cowboys quarterback is the same as a shortstop for the Yankees, Center for the Canadiens. This book is a STEAL at the price it's listed for on Amazon. This book has been out of print and only a limited amount were pressed. This book chronicles the connection of Roger and Troy and just how special they are not only as players, but as people and role models. The book is hardcover and the pictures are very beautiful and I've been a collector of the Cowboys all of my life; and many pictures printed in this book have never been seen before. Bottom line, if you do not purchase this book, then you're a fool. There are a lot of great stories in the book as well. As a proud Cowboys fan, life long..save your money on a Tony Romo jersey and BUY THIS BOOK. You will not be sorry! ... Read more

Excellent photo-bio for young readers
Review: Troy Aikman (Dorling Kindersley Readers)

Buckley Jr., James.Troy Aikman (Dorling Kindersley Readers).New York: Dorling Kindersley, 2000.HB, 48p., illus. list: 12.95, ISBN: 0-7894-6376-8

This picture-packed bio traces the life of legendary QB Troy Aikman, from his boyhood in Southern California, to his struggles and success at Henryetta HS, OK.

Troy first went to college at the University of Oklahoma, but transferred to UCLA after a year.He was more successful at UCLA, winning two bowl games, and becoming the Dallas Cowboys' No. 1 overall draft pick in 1989.Troy and the Cowboys struggled for a few years, but he then led the team to three Super Bowl wins in four years from 1992-1995.The Cowboys made the playoffs three more times in the latter half of the 90s, but did not return to the Super Bowl.

One very nice feature of this book is the chapter on Troy's charitable work, much of which benefits young children (the primary audience for this book).
