 High and outside July 19, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Being a life-long Giants fan and probably only one of a few who has seen them play in four different home ballparks, perhaps I became too excited when I first learned of the pending release of this book and allowed my expectations to reach an unrealistic high. This would account for the major level of disappointment I felt upon obtaining and reading this book. It was horribly proofed and had the appearance of being hurridly put together. I was suprised more information about the manner in which the team came to New York from Troy, NY was not presented. I found the statistical data to be relatively useless and often contradictory to data found in the 3 major references of baseball statistics. Overall, this is not a very good reference and certainly beneath the work Mr. Peters has previously published about the Giants. Too bad, a little more effort could have produced a much better book, now we will have to wait for the next one.

I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THIS "ENCYCLOPEDIA" BECAUSE I FEEL IT'S INCOMPLETE WITH REGARD TO THE HISTORY OF ALL WHO HAVE PLAYED FOR THE GIANTS (BOTH NEW YORK AND SAN FRANCISCO).. ALSO SOME OF THE PHOTOS ARE MISLABLED..NEEDS BETTER PROOF READING..BUT ALL IN ALL I AM GLAD TO HAVE IT IN MY COLLECTION OF GIANTS MEMORABILIA ETC.....
 The Giants Encyclopedia March 20, 2000
Without a doubt the best information on the Giants (both NY and San Fran) anywhere. Truly a fantastic book with more information about the Giants than anyone could ever want. As a lifelong Giants fan, this book is a dream come true.
