Such a great gift for a sports nut!
This is a great gift for any true sports fan that loves a team, through thick and thin. It offers a history of the team through NYT articles. I love to gift unique, meaningful gifts, and this one did not disappoint!

Not worth it
I got this for my boyfriend and was kind of annoyed there was a three-month shipping delay, but figured it was a cute gift and would be fun coffee table book to have. The book quality is nice but honestly I don't find the printing quality that nice and some of it appears blurry. I understand it is printed from the NYT but I also found it weird to have entire pages of obituaries printed with it, with a tiny section about the Knicks included on the page. I don't really want to be flipping through a coffee table book with pages of obituaries from decades ago. I was disappointed honestly. Maybe if your team is better the articles are nicer lol
Response from merchant
We appreciate your feedback! The New York Times has changed dimensions over the years so the type is shrunk slightly to fit a more convenient, book-sized trim.The maker also includes additional filler pages featuring noteworthy events on other dates may be added to the end of the book.

LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!
My boyfriend uses this book regularly when he wants to read about the Toronto raptors. It's a fun page tuner with pictures (the pics on the news article). He loves to show his friends who are also raptors fans... and sometimes people who aren't raptors fans.

Great Way to Reminisce
My boyfriend has been a lifelong fan of Boston sports, and I debated whether to buy the Celtics or Patriots version of this book. I went with the Celtics version, and it was a great choice. It's such a neat way to capture the history of his favorite team. I did see that previous reviewers said it came with a magnifying glass, and this one did not (that must have been discontinued), but I bought one for him separately and gave it to him wrapped with the book, because the font is really small.

This book is awesome!! You get to see fun highlights from your favorite team's history as well as other events that were in the news around the same time. Very well made and easy to read. Will be a loved item by family and friends for years to come!

It came out even better than I expected!
Book is made out of high quality everything! The hardcover is perfect. Printing on front cover is very professional quality. The printing should never peel off. They use very professional high quality thick photo paper that the articles are printed on and the print is super clear, even the tiniest font articles are legible. Binding is professionally done and will last many many years.

If I personalize a name on Line 1 and a year on Line 2, will the name and year be centered? Is the year included anywhere else in the book? Is the 2017 Yankee team manager stepping down also included in the book?
Verified reply from Nicola
Great questions! All personalization on the covers is center justified. Only the covers are personalized for the New York Times Sports books. At this time, the last page featuring 2017 content is about Derek Jeter's number being retired.
