Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fenway Fairs Well!
Review: This book gives the true nostalgia that sits within the fabled Fenway Park. The pictures show the spirit that each fan produces when they enter this stadium. No other book could portray Fenway as well as this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS ONE OF TWO EXCELLENT NEW GIFT BOOKS ON FENWAY PARK
Review: This book, and the equally wonderful FENWAY SAVED, are both perfect gift books for Boston fans and baseball lovers everywhere. Many people come to Boston and one of the first places they go is Fenway Park. It's the oldest park around and, like Wrigley Field in Chicago, it's the REAL THING! Almost unbelievably, the Red Sox plan to knock it down but they say they will be keeping parts of it as a memory.

What's the difference between the two books? FENWAY shows you the whole experience of going to a baseball game at Fenway Park, from the vendors to the fans and the game. The authors had access and got inside the wall and into the dressing room to take shots. They have more big name celebrities giving quotes. FENWAY SAVED, the other gift book, focuses more on the park itself is maybe a more serious one in that it provides more information and perspective and maybe a few more interesting stories along with a roughly equal number of excellent (but a bit less consistently so) photos. The better text balances out the slightly weaker photography. Don't get me wrong, though - the photography is very strong overall.

I give both books a full 5 stars. FENWAY SAVED costs five cents less.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stupendous! The best baseball book ever!
Review: This is a book for every lover of the game. The photographs are fabulous, the writing crisp and sharp. Every time I open it, I find something new. The introduction by Ted Williams is worth the price of the book alone. This is the perfect gift for every baseball fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than being there (Almost)
Review: When I got this book from my bro, I really was glad he gave it to me because, This book is so good that it's almost like being there! Full of outstanding photos and outstanding writing by Dan and the essays by people such as Bob Costas , James Earl Jones, Bucky Dent are verry verrry interesting and almost magical. It's so good, I read it in 2 days! I hope they keep Fenway, unless it's absolutly time for it to be torn down, Any baseball fan should get this book, because after Fenway is gone,it's history!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I didn't need to know. ...
Review: Why the fixation on the men's room at Fenway, Danny Boy? I thought those revealing pictures were insensitive and disgusting, and can't be justified by a Mapplethorpian defense of their artistry.
