Three new Cowboys books: Fall, 2006

Football", Jean Jacques Taylor (Sports Publishing, August 1, 2006); 256

Readers are taken inside the most memorable game of 24 players and
former coach Jimmy Johnson that earned each of them a place in the

Brown, Don Perkins, Bob Lilly, and Bill Bates.

Jean-Jacques Taylor has been a senior sports reporter at the Dallas
Morning News since 1991 and has covered the Cowboys since 1995. In that

retirements of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin, as well as
their induction into the club's exclusive Ring of Honor; Smith's
pursuit of the NFL's all-time rushing record, the hiring of legendary
coach Bill Parcells, and Aikman's induction into the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. Taylor is from DeSoto, Texas.

Buck Buchanan was the beloved equipment manager for the Dallas Cowboys
for 25 years, during which time the Cowboys won four Super Bowls.

organization, Buchanan provides a unique behind-the-scenes look -- from
the logistics of moving equipment for away games, to the proclivities
and needs of individual players. On the sidelines for every Cowboys
game, he also describes how the coaches and players interacted during
some of the team's most legendary moments.
