Book Reviews of Ballparks: Yesterday and Today
Book Review: Amazing book about baseball stadiums
Summary: 5 Stars
"An outstanding illustrated presentation of all the current major league parks combined with a look at stadiums in the past, this book includes complete histories and fascinating anecdotes about each park."
For anyone who is heavily into baseball (or specifically interested in stadiums design), this is an absolute treasure of a book -- an impressive, profusely illustrated, exquisite tome of 448 glossy pages.
It contains a wealth of information about 42 best known baseball ballparks in the U.S., listed alphabetically by city name (starting with Albequergue, ending with Washington D.C.).
Additionally, the first 70 pages contain general information about the major leagues, history of baseball, what matters in ballpark design, recent trends, etc.
Published in England, this book is a "stunner", a real pleasure to hold in your hands. With breath-taking superb photographps on every page, it's "candy for the eyes", and accompnied by equally attractive and interesting written content.
