5.0 out of 5 stars A champion book for a championship team, November 16, 2008
By LNG (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
Finally Philly doesn't only have a Championship team, but also a spectacular book to commerate a fabulous year of the World Champions, the Philadelphia Phillies. This book, written by the Philadelphia Inquirer captures the raw emotion and the important details of this special team. I am amazed by the quality of the full color pictures - they pop out of the page - and you really feel the spirit and joy of this hard working team. I bought one copy for my family - but after seeing the book, we are now buying it for holiday gifts and for our former Philadelphia friends living elsewhere. This is a great deal and a beautiful keepsake. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book Available On The Phillies 2008 Championship Run, December 10, 2008
There have been a few books released on the Phillies championship run. This book is easily the best of those already available. The pictures in particular are magnificent. Sports Illustrated has always been known for their great photos, but the pictures in this book put those in the Sports Illustrated magazine and commemorative book to shame. Shane Victorino is my favorite player and the photos of him rounding the bases after his grand slam off Sabathia and then being restrained by his team mates after a ball was thrown at his head during the playoffs with the Dodgers are priceless. This will make a great holiday gift for any Phillies fan.

By Phillies Faithful (Prospect Park, PA) - See all my reviews
I was looking for a book that had a lot of the photographs that I saw during the playoffs. This book is full. It does have stories too that I have enjoyed reading.
