"The facts Pathy unearths are a delight. . . . It's the type of book one can pick up, turn to a page, and learn something new each time."-- Tampa Tribune "There has never been a book that chronicled the entire history of a baseball park by the year. That is, not until now. . . Every Cubs fan should savor it: 25 years worth of research, 100 years worth of history, a lifetime worth of memories. Wrigley Field Year by Year will help fans to relive those moments and perhaps learn about some new ones along the way."-- Bleacher Report "Chicago songwriter Steve Goodman once sang that Wrigley Field was the Cubs' 'ivy-covered burial ground.' But as Sam Pathy shows us there has been a lot of living in the friendly confines over the past century, too. Engagingly written, cleverly organized, and containing fascinating bits of information that even the most hardened Cubs fan may not know, Wrigley Field Year by Year is a nostalgic tribute to one of America's best-loved public buildings. And oh those pictures! No Chicago coffee table should be without it." -Ron Rapoport, former sports columnist, Chicago Sun-Times "I could tell you about Wrigley Field's modest beginnings, its architectural niceties and oddities, its hosted feats, its improbable survival as a relic of a team--the Chicago Whales--and a major league that vanished after the 1915 season. But the author, Sam Pathy, does a splendid job of that, aided by wonderful photographs. . . . Happy Birthday, Wrigley Field! This book does you proud." -From the Foreword by John Thorn "Pathy puts a little of everything into his breakdown of the last 100 years at 1060 W. Addison. . . . [He] gives equal space to the Cubs and Bears in the years they shared the park, and he doesn't overlook or whitewash the scandals." -- Chicago Sun-Times "Sam Pathy provides a comprehensive chronicle of the wild and wacky in addition to the hardcore hardball history." -- Yahoo! Sports "The PostGame" "The coffee table sized book by Sam Pathy with an appealing intro by the sagacious Official Historian of MLB, John Thorn, is a winner in every way. Priced right, a labor of love and accuracy by the ... author who spent the past quarter century researching Wrigley's history, this handsomely designed effort belongs on your sports bookshelf." --Dr. Harvey Frommer, SportsBookShelf

I contacted the seller, who followed up immediately, refunded me, and sent me an impeccably packed copy to gift my MIL on Mother's Day! The timeliness and concern of this seller is sooo appreciated, even though the issue was not their fault! Thanks to rvasurplus2llc, I am still the favorite DIL!The Lost And Found Bookshop: A Novel By Susan Wiggs(Hardcover) (N° 124526926461)
- e***i (1174)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoHorribly packaged. Item came in original, very old, box. Basically, a very old box just dropped in a bubble mailer. It arrived with the original box now basically dust. Now the item, which is a filter, is coated in dust. Seller never mentioned it was new old stock. I’m a seller myself on eBay and never would I drop a filter with original vintage box IN A BUBBLE MAILER!!! The filter is ok, thankfully. It needed to be BOXED.
