Customer Reviews
No doubt Lombardi rules, but this doesn't...
It wasn't what I expected. I thought I was ordering an insight to coach Lombardi - instead, it's the coach's son (also Vincent) using some of his father's quotes for middle-management pep-talks. It's my own fault, as I should have looked more closely into what the product actually contained. I think it's been designed with coffee breaks in an office in mind.
