Vault, yo, vault

The Michigan Vault is certainly a well put-together package of history, although the actual story itself leaves much to be desired.  The real star here are all of the little bells and whistles they throw in, like replica tickets and replicas of letters from Crisler, Bo, that sort of thing.  It may not necessarily be the most interesting read, but it's certainly fun to browse through.

If you're in the Ann Arbor area, the Michigan Vault book mentioned by Six Zero is on clearance at the local Borders for $10.  It's well worth that for the replica programs, letters, etc.

It's a bit larger than 12" x 15", so it would appear to be a coffee-table size publication.
