What Customers Say About Take Me Out to the Ballpark: An Illustrated Guide to Baseball Parks Past & Present:

This is a fantastic reference for any baseball history enthusiast. Don't be put off by the appearance or shape of the book.

Very nice book, Just what I wanted Very nice to display great gift for any baseball fan.

The good news for both industries is that the good old days are now, as stadiums are better (not necessarily bigger, fancier, or high-tech, just better) in every dimension. "Stadium-shaped" coffee-table book of baseball stadiums, short on history, whose only fault is it isn't long enough, and doesn't have enough pictures and history of the old parks no longer in existence. Once thing this book puts in stark contrast is that just as the 70s were a bad time for car makers in contrast to a more glorious past, it was a bad time for stadium designers too.

If I have a fellow baseball fan coming to my house for a visit, I make sure two books are prominently displayed in my living room where they may serve as conversation fodder: this beautifully illustrated book about America's diverse ballparks and "101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out," which does for baseball landmarks what this book does for the parks.Enjoy.

Even the NON-baseball fans love it. I like the baseball diamond shape, makes it interesting, great coffee table book and it a great conversation piece. Great information on the new and old ballparks. This book is great for the avid baseball fan. I bought it for myself, but I am going to buy one for a friend for Christmas because I am so impressed with it.
