Babe's House -- some great pictures
The best part of this book is the photos. I'm the one in my family who usually gives these types of books as gifts, mainly to my dad or brother who used to take me to games when I was a kid -- but my hobby is photography and my girlfriend saw this book and bought it for me, and it really made for a great gift. The title includes "scrapbook" and "a lifetime of memories" and that is pretty accurate. Even though many of these moments took place well before I was born, seeing the photos brought them alive and took me back to the times when I was sitting at the stadium with my dad or brother and they would tell me about all the great moments in Yankees history. I highly recommend this book -- but if you want another great book that is much more unique and really captures the essence of Yankees history from the very beginning, the one I've been reading this past week is an absolute must for NYY fans: New York Yankees: An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports by the Numbers)

Great gift
I got this book for a brother in law who is a fan and he loved it, even if its just to add to his nice collection on Yankees books

Yankee Scrapbook Review
This book is a "must have" for any true Yankee Fan who grew up with the Yankees in their blood & soul! I had purchased this for my dad as a gift and am thinking of getting one for myself!
