Browseabout to mark Redskins Day at Aug. 7 book signing

Browseabout Books will host “The Redskins Encyclopedia” author Mike Richman from 6 to 9 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 7, and will celebrate “Redskins Day” by hosting a tailgate party with sausages and hot dogs courtesy of Kirby & Holloway. There will be four former Redskins cheerleaders on hand, as well as Redskins-themed games and prizes.

Redskins-mania has consumed the nation’s capital since 1937, the Redskins’ first year in Washington. The fervor is much stronger today.

Amply illustrated with 200 photos of players, coaches and fans, “The Redskins Encyclopedia” is a must-have book for anyone who has ever bled burgundy and gold. This 432-page book chronicles the franchise’s first 75 seasons, reliving the great - and not so great - moments in the team’s storied history, and the men who helped make Sundays memorable. Every period in Redskins history comes to life in the most comprehensive account ever about the franchise. Readers can find a treasure trove of anecdotes, quotes and trivia that will keep them glued to the pages.

There are biographies of some 120 players, among them legends in Redskins lore who hold lofty places in the NFL history books, from Sammy Baugh to Darrell Green to Art Monk to Sonny Jurgensen to Charley Taylor to Joe Theismann. The franchise’s greatest coaches also receive their due.

Also available is a compilation of honors, records, draft picks and statistics.

Everyone should have this book. I've been getting it signed and it looks neat. I added the likes of Bobby Beathard, Charles Mann, Mark Mosely and Ken Harvey this past weekend, too bad I missed Theismann
