Welcome to the Knup Sports Guide to Sports Books where we do book reviews, recommended sports books, discounted links to buy sports books, and more! Reading sports books is somewhat of a passion for our team Below, you will read a number of “small book reviews” for all the sports books they have read lately. We don’t get paid at all for reading or reviewing these books. So, if you happen to buy any of these books or other sports books — use our SPORTS BOOKS LINK HERE so we earn a few cents for our efforts 🙂
Publishers, authors, editors — if you have a sports book you’d like for us to review — contact us as soon as possible to discuss.
