Where to find books about the Vikings or former players of the Vikings?

**NordicNed** · 10-02-2007, 04:15 PM

After seeing this posted in another thread by Snow
"
for one, still haven't read Robert Smith's book, that is my choice for book club of the month "

I was wondering, just how many books, if any, have been wrote about the Minnesota Vikings and or it's former Players and Coaches...

I'de espeicaly like
to see a book about Bud Grant, if there is one.

Anyone have any info on this topic?

SKOL,

I searched Vikings and Player and Coaches, got some pretty vague items.
Need to search for specific name and it will bring up any books.

Thanks Snow,

I've also read Robert Smith's book
a couple of years ago (was a birthday present) and enjoyed it

didn't
a book just come out about the history of the vikes recently?
I heard it on KFAN mentioned by one of the play-by-play people.

I would like to pick that up myself.

Never realized there where so many books to be found on the subject......Seeing I have alot of free time on my hands, I may just have to start reading more.
I can't think of a better topic to read about....

Bud Grant helped write this book.

I just finished reading "Quiet Strength" by Tony Dungy who coached for the Vikings. Even though it's about his life there is a lot of stuff about the Vikings in it.
