5.0 out of 5 stars A Landslide MVB (Most Valuable Book)!, June 30, 1999

This review is from: The Game That Was: The George Brace Baseball Photo Collection (Paperback)

If this book's photographs represent only a fraction of Mr. Brace's total collection of negatives, then more should be rolling off the presses. Not only do they offer a great glimpse into a glorious past, the captions are equally superb. This is a work that's more than baseball: it's American history.

Had the privilege of meeting and knowing George Brace. This book is an excellent portrayal of the work of one of the world's few true gentlemen. Well written! You are correct...It is and will be a collector's item.

A must-have for any baseball fan. George Brace captured ballplayers both as they entered the game and in their prime. It's one of my favorites in a rather large collection of sports books.
