This weekend marks the two year anniversary of my release of my book, Baseball Photography of the Deadball Era!

Dozens of you contributed to the book and hundreds of you purchased a copy. It went on to win the 2024 SABR Larry Ritter Award for Best Deadball Era Book and finished second in the 2024 CASEY AWARD for Best Baseball Book of the Year. The entire print run of 1,000 has nearly sold out, only a handful of copies remain. The project has been a joy and greatly exceeded my expectations.
My intent for the book was to provide insight into the relatively unknown world of Deadball Era photography and the story of the men who created the images we all admire and collect, whether in period photo prints or as incorporated into baseball card format. Now that the hardcover format has essentially sold out, and in furtherance of my goal of spreading the knowledge to the general baseball collector and hobbyist, I have issued an eBook format of the book.
As a thank you to the hobby, I have priced the ebook at $5 on my website for download. So if your curiosity is piqued have a look!
