Since some members of the Yankees were very kind in helping out Red Sox first base coach Ron Johnson I will honor them with a review of a book about their captain, Derek Jeter. O.K., let’s be honest, there was no way I was going to read a book about Derek Jeter so I passed it on to a couple of Yankee fans I know and asked them for feedback.
Nick Gaede, a Derek Jeter, fan liked the layout of the book, especially the photography. Everything he was looking for; the trademark jump-in-the-air throw and Jeter’s career highlights were all there in stunning glossy pages.
Librarian Marybeth Colman had this to say about Derek Jeter- From the Pages of the New York Times:
This biography is eminently readable and isn’t just limited to Yankee fans. Derek Jeter is an American icon and is part of the fabric of who we dream we can be.
Over 5,000 New York Times articles were used in putting together this comprehensive illustrated chronicle of Derek Jeter’s career. The reader will be treated to world class photography and research in a book tailor made for this generation of baseball fan. Derek Jeter’s diehard fans will find new nuggets of information and the casual Yankee fan will also find the beautiful layout very appealing.
If you need a birthday present for a Yankee fan, you can’t go wrong with this book.
