Summary: not as good
Comment: Nowlin's Fenway Saved is pretty good collection of photos and writings, and a good gift for a Sox fan, but it does not compare to Shaughnessy's book. The photos in the "rival" book are far superior. ALthough Fenway Saved does include some interesting shots / angles, overall, its photography is mediocre. Similarly, Shuaghnessy's offering possesses far superior writing. Finally, Nowlin's book also had some glaring errors as well as odd omissions.

Again, a good gift or purchase for any fan, but only after purchasing the other book.

Summary: The stuff that dreams are made of
Comment: About the new Fenway book - never mind what Humphrey Bogart said about the Maltese Falcon - this is the stuff that dreams are made of. The photos are excellent - none of the run-of-the-mill shots of dugouts and locker rooms. This is all about the mystique of Fenway - what makes it as Roger Angell has described it "the best place in the world to watch baseball." Good stories abound. The book connects beautifully with all the nostalgia that mightily surrounds the place.

Summary: Wonderfully sentimental...fascinating insights!
Comment: I recently received this book from an avid Red Sox fan and was gratefully surprised. Being a Red Sox fan myself since childhood, I quickly found myself back experiencing the sights and sounds and smells of Fenway and recall sitting in the bleachers, the smell of beer and cigars, the Wall, Carl Yastrzemski... I was there, too, at the Impossible Dream game and it brought back memories of the high pitched excitement, the fans running onto the field to get close to their heroes and driving home yelling out the window of the car "we're #1" to all of Boston who was doing the same.

I enjoyed learning about Fenway's history, what makes Fenway tick and the passion of the people who take pride in their work and do what it takes to make this baseball stadium feel like home. For I still make my yearly visits to Fenway and it always feels like home.

Though this book is about Fenway Park, it captures the essence of the "baseball experience" that so many people love and what makes it so.
