The Illustrated History of Mickey Mantle

Rating:
Summary: Complete Disaster
Review: The sports world needs a definitive photo book about Mantle. This isn't it. The photos are very poor reproductions of familiar images found clearly reproduced in other books. Here, they look like 50th generation copies. I returned the book without reading it but noticed that a sequence of Mantle's great catch in Larson's perfect game is described as a catch against Boston! Schoor, a quality writer, should be ashamed of allowing his name to put on this disaster. Charging $36 for this work is a crime.
