Negative Positive
Title: The PBS Series Without Photos
Review: For those of us who love the history of baseball as much as the game itself, this is a, "must get".I found all the anecdotes from the PBS Ken Burns documentary "Baseball" here plus a bunch that didn't make it. (You may recall, that Daniel Okrent was heavily featured in the PBS series)The only missing element that would cause me to bump my ratings to 5 stars would be(you guessed it) photos.With the unearthing of Charles Conlon's negatives they would have a trove of other 18,000 images to choose from - most of which have yet to be published in this half of the century. (Only a fraction of these incredible images made it into the Abram's book, "The Golden Age of Baseball")Of course, this would drive the cost of the book up and possibly detract from the wonderful stories here - I wonder out loud if it isn't perfect just the way it is...Never the less, you will be all the poorer if this book in not in your baseball library, photos or not!
