DiMaggio: An Illustrated Life (Easton Press, Genuine Leather, New / Sealed) by Glenn Stout A full-length biography of the legendary Yankee Clipper examines his astonishing career and also includes five essays, by Ted Williams and other notable figures, that consider DiMaggio's place in baseball history. From Publishers Weekly As Stout sums it up, Joe DiMaggio performed superbly the functions that a ballplayer must fulfill: hit with power, run, throw and field. Further, he was grace personified and invariably conducted himself with dignity. Born in California in 1914, the son of immigrants, he made his professional debut with the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League in 1932, drawing headlines the following year when he hit in 61 straight games. He joined the New York Yankees in 1936 and played until 1951, with two years out to serve in WWII; in his last 13 seasons, the Yankees won the pennant 10 times and DiMaggio established many World Series records. He is most famed, however, for his 56-game regular-season hitting streak (1941).

What an amazing transaction! My brand new, leather bound Easton Press book still in shrink wrap arrived in outstanding condition!! It was wrapped in bubble wrap and surrounded by tissue paper. The shipping speed was super fast as the seller sent it by Priority Mail. Fantastic! Item was totally as described as on website. I communicated with seller and requested extra packaging inside box due to very cold weather conditions in MI. I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and this seller!!! Thanks!!

The seller WGMartin Book Gallery offered me a wonderful copy of the Easton Press Idylls of the King by Alfred Lord Tennyson, a book I had been hoping to add to my library for quite more than a fortnight, for a fair amount that caught my attention, and they then proceeded to follow through with ensuring the transaction went smoothly by packaging the book properly for transit across the country, shipped it out expediently and provided it to me in the condition it was listed in and as described! A+
