Neil Leifer: Ballet in the Dirt: The Golden Age of Baseball

If this is the autographed Justin Verlander baseball it's great. This was a gift of his no hitter ball. My Detroit Tigers fan has it displayed very proudly, in his library. It came without a hitch.

I read all the reviews for this book and decided to buy it for my dad. He is a big baseball fan and I thought this would be perfect. He complained the photos were not the best quality, book was extremely heavy and the print was extremely small. I hate to say it, but I kind of agreed and was also disappointed. He is going to donate the book and I am sure there will be someone out there who will love this book. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion!

My Dad loved receiving this for Father's Day! I highly recommend it to any serious baseball lover.Great shots and the stories to back them up....consider giving this fabulous book.

Love love love! Had a hard time giving it away yo my son for Christmas! Very pleased with service

Great for nostalgic revisitation of the good old days of baseball when I was a kid. Too bad baseball is the way it is now...

Great book and perfect hostess gift

The book is fascinating, with many pictures never seen before, more interesting the explanations behind the pictures, a collectors item

SNEAK A PEEK @ BOOK REVIEW / SNAPSHOTS N°2 : NEIL LEIFER - BALLET IN THE DIRT - THE GOLDEN AGE OF BASEBALL - EDITED BY TASCHENA-PRIVATE-BOOKS-COLLECTION.BLOGSPOT.COMVISIT MY BLOGSPOT BOOK REVIEWSMEET A PRIVATE BOOKS COLLECTIONIvo Barnes is the founder of the blog "a private collection books". Before being founder, editor, blogger, artist / photographer, Ivo Barnes is especially a great lover of art books, fashion, architecture, design, photography, cooking books ... To tell you the whole truth, I think more seriously than I have a great addiction to books. I love books with hard covers more especially, books whose layout is attractive, books whose interior full of more exciting as each other photos, books that transport you to another dimension or exude a lifestyle that you identified. Art books can be a gift appreciated by any person, they also always find a place in your interior, near you in a library, put on a bench, or simply all arranged on your coffee table. At home , my books are arranged everywhere in my libraries on my buffets, and a large console behind the sofa. I buy books very regularly and in general when I 'm in a library better never stay too long , or leave me alone , or away from me, because I often leave with 5-6 books of art, under the arm. Being more a collector of books that a simple and basic book buyer (for my collection extends over 300 pounds), I noticed that it is very difficult to get a point of view, an idea or simply to know what the book actually looks like on the websites of publishers. Generally when the books are not purchased directly from a library or large retail chains, details and photos of books on the websites of publishers are small, often with little information or even no photo viewing for some very experienced editors/publishers. That is why I decided to create "a private collection books," to share with you my entire library. The concept of "a private collection books" is to share with you through snapshots taken with my iphone, the best parts of my books, the ones I like the most exciting, and so make you discover books that can you will be given the desire to get them.

Tolle Bilder, schöne Aufnahmen, ein wunderschönes Buch zu einem sagenhaften Preis (habe nur 16 Euro inklusive Porto bezahlt).
