My copy arrived yesterday and was waiting for me when I returned home today. It's a beautiful book that I've only had time to flip through, but I'll settle down with it for a closer look this week. I love that Jim's signature page features my favorite pre-war player, Charles Bender.

Just got my copy. Spectacular! The photos are extraordinary, and the research and composition are next level. Very happy to add this must-have book to my hobby reference library!

I am always intrigued by which images viewers are drawn to, which are your favorites in the book?

So many to choose from it's hard to pick one but the Jones, Cobb, Crawford shot in Pittsburgh for the 09 series is a favorite. I was the under bidder on that one, glad it went to a good home.

I'm only 100 pages in so far (want to savor it), but my favorites so far are the image of Babe Ruth pitching in 1915 (Underwood & Underwood), Mike Gonzalez (Conlon), Tris Speaker sliding into Frank "Home Run" Baker, Taylor Smith (what an incredibly clear image), Javan Emory, Jack Coombs, Frank "Home Run" Baker photo with masking intact, and the Charles Bender picture in in the intro.

I had never seen any of those images before.

What a treasure this book is.

Jim - The 1914 Babe Ruth glass plate negative pitching pose left me speechless - I’ve never seen that image. I thought I’ve seen every Matty image, but your book has several Christy illustrations that were “firsts” for me. Finally, Henry Yee’s Babe Ruth 1920 spring training inaugural Yankees “in uniform” photo belongs in Cooperstown! So many other world-class photos, but these stuck out the most for me. Thanks so much for putting this work of art together for us collectors.

Sincerely,
Joe
