A Baseball Masterpiece

John Thorn is one of our great baseball writers and his skills make this book the best of its kind. It is loaded with fascinating anecdotes that I've seen nowhere else. In addition, the illustrations are outstanding. "Treasures ..." will give you the most enjoyable history lesson you'll ever find.

Well, I Can't Make It There...

This will serve until I get a chance to go there. Being far from any major metropolitan canter, getting there requires a great deal of effort. This is a great book which shares some of the riches of the hall. A must have book for all baseball lovers.

Excellent choice for any baseball collection.

This volume should be considered an excellent addition to any baseball library. Every fan of the game will find something new and interesting. While the text is excellent, the large number of intensely detailed photographs provide a fascinating insight into the history of the game. There is no other such collection available for the fan or scholar to enjoy. This volume is highly recommended.

Great photos and all the stories behind the game's treasures

The photos alone are worth the price of the book, but John Thorn adds great anecdotes that remind us why the items in the photos are so special. The end result is a history of baseball written like no other history I ever read on any subject.Any fan of the game will enjoy this book and, if they are not careful, will find themselves learning something new about their game.
