This book definitely surprised me. The Hall of Fame has put out several books about it's honoured members over the years. They tend to be quite similar - beautiful coffee table sized books blessed with photos right out of the Hall of Fame vaults.
This new release is almost better categorized as a pocket book. I was almost shocked! After years of bigger books I'm still trying to get used to the new format.
This book is a whopper at 544 pages. Included are point by point profiles on every inductee and more than 400 photos! And it's cover price is just $19.99 which means you should be able to get this book under $15 most places. Just look at the beautiful production value in this featured profile below:
