Brett Favre bibliography!  The ol' gunslinger lives in lit circles!

PictureRequired reading after turkey is consumed!
  Not only is Brett Favre "the man" on the field, he is also "the man" in books!  Overall, I have unofficially(and I stress that word!) counted about 53 titles for books about Brett Favre with his name in the title.  I'm going to guess that no quarterback from the modern era has been written about (in form of a published book) more than Brett Favre.   ​He's probably the perfect combination, of talent, accomplishments, background, personality, quirkiness, etc that make him great food for books!   Most are books about the Packer days, but there are a handful about the dark days with the Vikings and only a couple about the Jet days, which seems logical.
   The full length books are just the tip of the Favre iceburg.  I could add another 30 or so books to the list if I included books Brett was part of, but not in the title.   And if you were to count all the Packer trivia or fact books, you may find another 30 on top of that.
In addition, Favre is immortalized in a great many magazine features and commemorative newspaper sections, many which have probably morphed into some of the full length books written by these beat writers.  
Clearly, Favre is one of a kind--it's the reason we all love him!  As I stressed to some of my high school library patrons this week, "Did you ever wonder why so many of you guys are named Brett?"

Here's a little trip through the Favre bibliography!

Inspirational Favre Book:  
Don't Bet Against Me by Deanna Favre

​This book is still a favorite in the library, and a must read for any Favre fan.  Brett's wife Deanna was as much a part of the Favre legacy as Brett, and her fight against cancer was well publicized.

Understudies should focus on their voice once they offer introduction. they should have administration on their voice. It should nor be too low that the group of onlookers can't see them nor too high they can't hold up under it.
