Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - don't buy this book by mistake
I bought this book by mistake, and I want to warn others to think before buying. It's not a bad book. That's not the problem. Let me explain.

A friend of mine had this book that I found really engaging and I wanted my own copy. I mixed up the titles and got this book by mistake, not realizing that there were two books with almost identical titles. The book I most highly recommend is THE RED SOX FAN HANDBOOK. It is by Leigh Grossman.

The name of this book is THE BOSTON RED SOX FAN BOOK. It is by four authors. Despite this one having four authors, and the Fan Handbook having just one, the Fan Handbook has four times as much information. It also costs a few dollars more.

This book (Fan Book) has lots of space-fillers, most of them seemingly copied right out of the Red Sox Media Guide, even to using the same style of type presentation in the records section. There's nothing wrong with this book per se. It's easier to read that the Red Sox Media Guide, though with much less detail. But it's just sort of lightweight.

The Fan Handbook's best feature are the individual player profiles. It has a couple of hundred pages - the heart of the book - which presents very readable profiles of most of the key players in Red Sox history, right up to present players like Abe Alvarez, who's pitched all of one game so far. It's a great deal of fun, and well worth the few extra dollars. Trust me, if you placed the two books side by side, you wouldn't hesitate.
