revmoran	Recent books about the NY Giants Jan 18 2009, 12:33 PM EST I'm trying to put together this page in some chronological order, but there are recent books that should be mentioned. I went to a talk yesterday by sportswriter Jack Cavanaugh who has just published "Giants Among Men, How Robustelli, Huff, Gifford, and the Giants Made New York a Football Town and Changed the NFL." Mr. Cavanaugh gave a great talk and what I've read in the book is very interesting - not just about the Giants but about New York and about the other key teams of that era - it looks like a worthwhile read!

Martin75	1. RE: Recent books about the NY Giants Mar 22 2009, 10:47 AM EDT I'm very happy to see 'The GIANTS of New York' on this list.I consider this book to be nothing short of a bible!I highly recommend this read for any GIANTS fan looking to delve deep into the history of this great franchise.Other books I would recommend:from Macmillan Pub. Great Teams,Great Years series-New York GIANTS by Jim Tergian (1973).Mainly covers the games & players from 1956-1963 (6 championship appearances in 8 years,not bad).From Harper & Row Pub.-'THE GIANTS' from the Polo Grounds to SB XXI by Richard Whittingham (1987).And no GIANTS book collection can be complete w/o John Steinbreder's 'GIANTS' 70 Years of Championship Football or Jerry Izenberg's NEW YORK GIANTS-75 Years.
