New York Mets: The Complete Illustrated History
I got to thumb through it last night and it is THE BOOK YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
This gets my all-star thumbs up.
I will do a proper review once I get a chance to properly review it…but this is the book.
If you want New York Mets: The Complete Illustrated History
I will shortly do an interview with the author Matthew Silverman which we’ll post here. If you have any questions you’d like me to ask please post them in the comments.
In case you are with the federal blogging authority, I did get a free review copy of the book.
Dude, twenty bucks. Not even. Just buy it now….maybe pick up another copy for Jeff or Dave.
….and as awesome as this book is…the next post at 11am is even more awesome! Come back in an hour.
Does the $20 pricetag include the ability to print New York Mets tickets from home for free?
Michael i love you, glad you’re with the jokes.
I hate to be a stickler, but, how can the authors offer an illustrated history of 50 amazing seasons, when the mets have only played 49?
its all in the marketing. the book starts with the foundation of the franchise pre-first game.
Sorry, but that doesn’t cut it. A “season” involves dirt, grass, chalk and recorded games. If they want to go by “foundation” they should have used “years”.
I call B.S., and pure financial greed. They’re jumping gun on the “50th season” bandwagon, and trying to dupe fans into buying a fraudulent book.
It’s not “they” as in the Mets. It’s a him.
Look, it’s a cool book.
I never assumed, nor suggested that the Mets were involved. It is still a “they”, as it is a “him” the author, and the publisher. Thus “they”
Maybe I don’t have to but it! When is your freebie contest?
I was going to do it this week but I have been slammed (you can tell how slammed I am by the # of media Goon articles) – I want to properly review the book first
