Excellent hardcover book commemorating the San Francisco Giants 2010 baseball season, playoffs and World Series victory.

Worth the Wait was a wonderful purchase for me. It is a must-have book for any San Francisco Giants fans. It chronicles the 2010 baseball season for the Giants into the post-season and culminates with the Giants winning the 2010 World Series and the first World Series for the Giants since moving to San Francisco. The book is a nice hardcover with dust-jacket. The pages are all color and glossy with a nice thickness. It was written very well, and it has a lot of pictures and photographs many of which you probably have never seen or can only see from this book.

There is a lot of information, statistics, stories and photos that will draw you an excellent picture of how the 2010 season went for the Giants. Stories of the season an playoffs only told in this book by the players, broadcasters, coaches and front-office staff.

Worth the Wait is the Giants official 2010 season and World Series commemorative book. It is out-of-print now, and it has gone up in price and value. If you can get it at a good price, grab it. It will not disappoint.

I definitely recommend this book. It is the most important book to own if you are a San Francisco Giants fan.

Worth the wait - literally.

The post office decided to send this book within spitting distance of San Francisco - it's destination - and then they decided to send it to Arizona - and then back to the seller as undeliverable. Hummm....

The seller promptly refunded my money and I promptly repurchased the book and it was then promptly delivered to San Francisco for it's author, Brian Murphy, to sign and send to my little Staff Sergeant for her birthday.

Indeed worth the wait.

Thank you to a conscientious seller.

Don't Wait, Read Worth the Wait. It's Worth it.

Brian Murphy is journalist who works at the Giants Flagship Station KNBR. He does the morning show with Pauly Mac and they make one of the best sports morning radio show. He knows his ball, and is great at describing the moment, particularly this moment, the first SF WS Championship while evoking a great sense of history. This book makes me remember 2010 with a great sense of nostalgia freezing that feeling of waiting so long for a SF championship sweet every time.

The photos in this book are awesome and always bring back great memories of that 2010 championship season. There weren't that many superstars on this team, but there are great photos of the misfits that helped bring a championship to San Francisco.

amazon.com not only has the cheapest price for this book, it is almost the only place to find it. This book has been sold out since 2011. It is the perfect gift for those people who have been waiting their entire lifetime for the Giants to win the World Series! Excellent pictures and great reporting. Go Giants!

Beautiful photographs and insightful writing perfectly captures the 2010 Giants season. The photos bring back memories both wonderful and painful while we lived through "torture". This book is a must for any Giants fans.
