With the holidays approaching (yes, it's only September, but the holidays will be here before you know it), we're getting information about many of the new sports books that are coming out this fall.

Many of them could serve as great gifts for sports fans.

One new title is "Playing for Paterno" -- which is unique because it's co-authored by a father and son who both played for Joe Paterno at Penn State. The authors are Charlie Pittman, who played for the Nittany Lions in 1960s, and Tony Pittman, who played in Happy Valley in the 1990s. Between the two of them, they played on three of Paterno's five unbeaten teams.

According to the dust jacket of this book, which came out earlier this month: "Off the field, the Pittmans applied the lessons they learned from Paterno to achieve success in the business world."

"Playing for Paterno" is published by Triumph Books.
