Raw and unfiltered: a book about history and the 2015 season

[PhillyB]

Dear everyone,

The last couple of weeks have been absolutely exhausting. I've spent every night since Christmas up until 5am alternately writing, editing, and painting in order to provide you all with the highest-quality product we can muster. It's been incredibly tough but also deeply rewarding. Of course, we've had a lot of help along the way from incredible and generous friends, without whom this project never would've gotten off the ground. Thank you, guys and girls.

 And without further ado, we present Fifteen and 1: An Unofficial and Unfiltered History of Professional Football in Carolina.

 

 

Here are a few things you should note.

1) Fifteen and 1 is published through Amazon's platform, but you do NOT need a Kindle to read it. Any device - computer, tablet, phone - will do. Downloading it on any of those devices will simply prompt you to download the free Kindle Reader app, which takes like two seconds. In a pinch you can always download it here.

2) The book is composed of nearly 60,000 words. This is the length of a novel. That means you're about to read more about the Panthers than you've ever read in your life, all in one place for the first time. Before now there was no comprehensive guide to the Carolina Panthers; that changes today.

3) Due to licensing laws we were limited in how we could present this thing, both on the cover and in content. This means our cover doesn't use the franchise's name, nor explicitly represents a trademarked logo, copyrighted name, or otherwise licensed object or person (in case you were wondering why it doesn't say Panthers.)

4) If you enjoy the book, please leave it a five-star rating AND write a review (AFTER you've read the entire thing.) THIS IS IMPORTANT! A review doesn't have to be long, but written reviews (even if they're a sentence, or a line) do worlds of good for new authors. And remember criticism isn't a bad thing as long as it's not slanderous. Basically treat it like you would any book.

5) Feel free to discuss the book here in any fashion, be it positive or negative. However, please refrain from posting giant chunks of content here, since we're trying to incentivize people to download it. Also please refrain from being common asshats if the thought had crossed your mind.

Lastly, purchasing the book through the following link will let the Huddle benefit from your download, at no cost to you, and help keep this place running.

Happy reading!

bought it.

please also note there are still minor updates taking place related to formatting; if you don't see the new cover right away, give it a few minutes and it'll show up. the table of contents may be glitching too, but it doesn't affect content.

seriously, thanks everyone!

I just bought it.  Thanks for all the hard work.

My resolution was to read one book per week this year. Off to a good start, and this will make it easy to take care of week two. Thanks, Phil and Brad.

Purchased through the Huddle link.

Looking forward to it!

Philly I have to say I'm very impressed so far.  I'm only on chapter 8 but I have no doubt I'll be done with this book in a day or two.  I'm an avid reader and can be pretty unforgiving when it comes to what I invest my time reading.  

To all huddlers you should buy this even if you aren't a big reader.  I know a lot about the Panthers and have been a die hard since day one but I'm learning things I never knew in every chapter.

thanks man! we're super proud of the results. i hope you'll be able to write a quick review when you're finished!

This has been a fantastic read so far.  I've got to make the uptown lemonade.  Riot did a fabulous forward.  I had forgotten a lot of the early years such as Reich and the mascots shaking the goal posts.  You also brought back some painful memories of the bad years.  I'll probably finish this tonight.  Great job.
