Anaheim Angels World Series Champions is a fantastic book, It contains High lights and stories from all season long, the exciting playoff against the Yankees and Twins; and the fantastic world series. Its also filled with Great photos and a CD-ROM filled with photo galleries, stats, rosters, wallpapers and web links and cool stuff. This is a perfect keepsake for the 2002 season is a must get for any and every Angles fan; and any baseball fan; and would make a great gift.

For Angels fans like myself, this is an excellent momento of the season. It is essentially a scrapbook of all the AP reports from the notable games in 2002. There aren't any new original accounts or renditions or behind the scenes or anything like that. It doesn't really tell the story, it reminds you of the story.

I'd have to argee with the previous reviewer and say that those most likely to enjoy this book would be die-hard Angels fans. If you're a World Series buff or just someone with passing interest you probably won't be as attracted with this.

Though certainly colorful, this book looks like it was thrown together by a grade school yearbook staff.

There are incomplete stats, edited stories, and a complete lack of any sort of focus or narrative. It feels like someone just tossed some random articles with some random photos and thought it complete. The layout is geometric and boring.

The CD is really the worst sort of waste. All that space (for interviews, or film, or stats, or sounds, or more photos, or ANYTHING) is filled by a few bad photos and more useless, bland info.

On the other hand, it is about the Angels incredible run, and includes World Series Game 6, the greatest game in Angel history. Wait for a discount before buying unless you're an Angel fanatic!
