Prof. Frommer has ...             Growing Up Baseball: An Oral History18 reviews Harvey Frommer Cooper Square Press, 2001 REVIEW FROM BASEBALLOLOGY.COM, BY AMY COHEN The title and premise intrigued me. A series of mini-bios told in the first person by men who had actually made it to the "Big Leagues." I was looking for an answer, into my own psyche perhaps as to why the game is so compelling. Why do I stay up late for Opening Day and to watch every possible minute of the World Series? Why is Opening Day for my home team so important that I consider it a ...             New York City Baseball: The Last Golden Age17 reviews Harvey Frommer Harvest Books, 1992 JUST A WONDER OF A BASEBALL BOOK /signed editions When the lights came on again after World War II, they illuminated a nation ready for heroes and a city --New York--eager for entertainment.

They probably don't remember me, I was too young at the time to offer the kind of history they were looking for, but the pair's enthusiasm and obvious love for the area's resorts and their unique (now long ...             Frommer's 2002 Alaska (Frommer's Alaska, 2002)17 reviews Charles P. Wohlforth Frommer's, 2001 This is all you need! This book is all you really need to go to Alaska. If you are a fan of Frommers products you will not be dissapointed.

Being gentile, as far as I know, I can say that. One never knows exactly what one's roots might include. As Leon Toubin comments on a Texas community in this entertaining oral history, "We were probably all Jewish once, but we're Lutheran now." The complexities of American life make this book fun and often pure poetry. Some ...             The New York Yankee Encyclopedia10 reviews Harvey Frommer MacMillan Publishing Company, 1997 Go Yankees! I bask in the loveliness of being the fan of the baseball team of the millenium! The Yankees have won for three consecutive years and there is no stopping them! I have Yankee fever. I like a book that describes the history of this amazing team and its past accomplishments. I marvel at the fact that so many great players have been part of this team. I also enjoyed reading the stats of past players ...             Rickey and Robinson: The Men Who Broke Baseball's Color Barrier26 reviews Harvey Frommer Taylor Trade Publishing, 2003 FABULOUS BOOK BY A NAME BASEBALL WRITER Pinstripe Press Rickey and Robinson The Men Who Broke Baseball's Color Barrier Blending exclusive interviews with Rachel Robinson, Mack Robinson (Jackie's brother), Hall of Famers Monte Irvin, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella, Ralph Kiner and others, - The Pinstripe Press Celebrated author Harvey Frommer evokes the lives of Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey and heralded ...             Lusty Traveler: The Complete Sex Tourism Guide of Erotic Vacations for Men, Rio De Janeiro12 reviews Wiley Cooper Sex Tourism Publishing, 2008 Disneyworld for Guys My friends and I went to Rio for a bachelors party. We had the best time and owe much of it to this book. It's anyones guess if the groom will actually go through with the wedding. One of the guys in our crew booked a hotel that was not listed as "guest friendly" and he had to pay 150 extra just to bring a girl back. Don't get ripped like that, buy the book and save the hassle.             Frommer's San Francisco with Kids7 reviews Paula Tevis Frommer's, 2003 Good book for travel with children We used only parts of this book for two full days in SF, and found those parts very helpful. We liked the suggested itineraries and the neighborhood walking tours. Would have liked to see more, and larger scaled, maps of the neighborhoods. Highly recommended.             Murder & Sullivan6 reviews Sara Hoskinson Frommer St Martins Pr, 1997 Like Gilbert and Sullivan, Murder & Sullivan Scores Big! Perhaps the best of the Joan Spenser mysteries, Murder and Sullivan is soooo much fun! The main character is this ordinary music-loving lady, Joan, and she's always up to her neck in danger! I love all of Sara Hoskinson Frommer's books. They're fabulous reads if you like mysteries. A writer friend of mine says she thinks Frommer is the best mystery writer out there today..and she might be ...             Remembering Yankee Stadium: An Oral and Narrative History of "The House That Ruth Built"6 reviews Harvey Frommer Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2008 Yankee Stadium will never be forgoten now!! Well it was the book that took 86 years in the making but Harvey Frommer's Remembering Yankee Stadium: An Oral and Narrative History of "The House That Ruth Built" has finally hit the shelves. While most of the Yankee Stadium tributes hit shelves in the spring, it was only fitting that RYS waited until now to become a Fall Classic. Yes Bomber Buddies it was well worth the wait. My initial ...             Frommer's Chicago with Kids6 reviews Laura Tiebert Frommer's, 2003 A Chicago "Must Have" Even if you've resided in or visited Chicago frequently, this guide includes activities and insight which are invaluable when traveling with children.

It has a good combination of background info/history and travel info/tips. The detachable, fold-out map if the islands is particularly nice. I wish I'd bought this travel guide first (I've purchased several)--it would have saved me a good bit of time and money, ...             Frommer's Ireland (Serial)6 reviews Robert Emmet Meagher, Mark Meagher, ... Frommer, 1997 Best of Travelguides My family used Frommer's Ireland 12th Ed. extensively before, during ,and after our trip to Ireland in July of 2002. The first two chapters Best of..., and Planning your Trip... were worth the purchase price alone. All of the Best of tips we followed were excellent choices. The large fold out map that was included served very well during our driving tour of Ireland. Using the county and town ...             The Washington Nationals 1859 to Today: The Story of Baseball in the Nation?s Capital6 reviews Frederic J. Frommer Taylor Trade Publishing, 2006 A great history of a difficult subject! Baseball in DC is a sorry topic indeed, with as much success coming via fictitious, supernaturally affected means ("Damn Yankees") than actually on the field. This book chronicles that mostly sorry history with grace, humor, and tenderness that only a seasoned baseball writer can achieve. The chapter on how the Sens won the World Series in 1924 actually brought tears to my eyes. This is the ...             Frommer's New England's Best-Loved Driving Tours6 reviews British Automobile Association Frommers, 2003 Great for New England travel We loved this book! It has a number of driving tours that take you to highlights in each state. It has a couple of really nice features. The first, although we didn't stick to it very much, is the time suggested for the trip. They did suggest 2 days for the Southern Vermont tour. We did it in one day but only because we didn't stop in all the little towns suggested by the book. The book ...             Frommer's Arizona 2006 (Frommer's Complete)5 reviews Karl Samson Frommers, 2005 Great places and finds We used the 2006 book to find our way around Phoenix, and it was very helpful. I didn't use the maps (pretty good one from Hertz), but the listing of things to do, places to eat, and shopping really helped. Their "finds" came through like a charm with the Blue Adobe Grill in Mesa- a must try! All in all, what I look for in a guide.             Frommer's New Orleans 2008 (Frommer's Complete)5 reviews Mary Herczog Frommers, 2007 Don't go to NOLA without it!! I purchased this book for a recent trip to New Orleans and found it a valuable resource, both for myself as a somewhat frequent visitor to the city and for my boyfriend, who was experiencing this wonderful place for the first time. We were guided to some absolute restaurant gems, both inside and outside of the Quarter, and to some fabulous music venues. We also spent our days on the recommended ...             It Happened in Brooklyn: An Oral History of Growing Up in the Borough in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s5 reviews Myrna Katz Frommer, Harvey Frommer University of Wisconsin Press, 2004 DEFINITIVE ------New York Daily News A PAINFUL SWEETNESS FLOODS YOU              search for books arizona, barrier, baseball, bermuda, best-loved, brooklyn, capital, catskills, celebration, chicago, complete, driving, encyclopedia, england, francisco, happened, history, ireland, janeiro, narrative, nationals, orleans, remembering, robinson, stadium, sullivan, tourism, traveler, vacations, washington books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
