We’re just a few days away from Super Bowl LVII when the Philadelphia Eagles will be facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs. The action on the field is sure to be explosive. But that’s still days away—what are you going to do in the meantime?

Well, we’ve collected a selection of books to help pass the time and keep the football hype going.
