His photographs were collected in 1997 in a book entitled The Glory of Titletown (ISBN 0878339906). Biever's photographs have been featured in countless books, television shows and even movies.
Biever was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 2002. His son John has followed in his father's footsteps, and is himself a photographer for Sports Illustrated. His other son, James Biever, and grandson Michael Biever have also followed in his footsteps as photographers for the Packers.
