Default Jim Chapman’s Book is here and it’s a game changer!

Baseball Photography of the Deadball ERA book is now complete. I just got my copy of the 385 page hard bound book and it’s amazing. This will help educate collectors for all images used for publications including postcards, type 1s, Papers, etc….

Henry Yee along with many other knowledgeable collectors have contributed to this book to make this the new go to source for photography. I compare this game changer book to the Old Judge Book that Jay, Joe and Richard put out years ago which changed the landscape for collecting Old Judges. With that said the older book “A portrait of Baseball Photography” is still a must read book, and I’d rank this this new book a must own to have, if collecting pre war items.

Looks like Jim has spent a life time writing and collecting images for this book. I have a feeling he will be doing another print run soon on this as the word gets out.

Great job Jim and thank you for contributing to the hobby in such a dynamic way!
