Ballparks Then and Now is a fascinating exploration of ballparks across America. Packed with archival and modern photography, this book documents the development of America’s national pastime by looking at the fields of dreams on which it is played.

The ballpark experience has changed dramatically from baseball’s early days on grassy lots with wooden grandstands and free admission. The Union Grounds in Brooklyn, New York, is considered by many historians to be the first ballpark ever built, when William Cammeyer decided to use the Union Skating Pond as grounds for baseball games in 1862. When the first professional leagues were formed in 1871, enterprising owners began to invest in the creation of luxurious wooden palaces such as the Grand Pavilion in Boston and Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis. The first steel-and-concrete ballpark was Shibe Park in Philadelphia, built in 1909, which housed a record number of 20,000 paying customers and set the standard in ballpark design for the next fifty years. The cookie-cutter ballparks of the 1960s and 1970s have largely been replaced by newer retro designs that give each park its own unique feel and have re-established ballparks as a vital part of urban America.

Ballparks Then and Now is a fascinating exploration of ballparks across America. Packed with archival and modern photography, this book documents the development of America’s national pastime by looking at the fields of dreams on which it is played.

A collection of whimsical birds accompanied by hilarious and imaginative descriptions of the bird's unique personalities from the over-the-top mind of the famed artist.

Inspired by a fan-favorite series of posts on Ashley Longshore's popular Instagram account, the artist's own colorful (and sometimes inappropriate ) bird descriptions and maximalist paintings give each bird a hysterical personality and backstory.

Take Muffy, for example. What kind of bird does she look like? Muffy "lives in a nest above her neighborhood's private tennis club. She studied abroad in London while in college and now calls her powder room the "loo" and refers to the movies as the "cinema" and she also calls her tennis shoes "trainers"...she has a mild lisp that gets much worse after her third glass of ros ...her stages of drunkenness are always the same: first she thinks she can sing, then she thinks she can dance and then she thinks she is invisible...during the stage of invisibility Muffy really lets it all out."

Longshore combines her brilliant humor and knack for storytelling with her dynamic pop art style and is sure to have readers rolling from the very first page.

Or Jay Leno on his 1955 Buick Roadmaster, big enough for him to sleep in while trying to make it as a comic.

Book Synopsis

For grads of all ages, this joyful, vibrant giftbook challenges the age-old question of what will you be?, and instead asks what will you do?

Graduation is both exciting and riddled with unknowns--a moment when we stop to ask ourselves big questions. By turns whimsical and introspective, Dear Graduate playfully asks readers how they want to spend their lives and what values they'll develop. The 30 questions in this bite-sized and poignant book encourages grads--or anyone at a crossroads--to consider who they aspire to be and what sort of mark they dream of making on the world.

Examples include:

- Will you treat every other person, animal, and living thing with respect and care?
- Will you invent something useful that we've never seen before?
- Will you grow flowers or bring them (and joy) to our doors?
- Will you juggle numbers, dishes, or bowling ball pins?
- Will you cheer on your friends and family to succeed?

With sentiments that offer us an opportunity to think deliberately about the decisions ahead, readers of all ages can enjoy this compact and colorful gift book that celebrates one of life's most momentous milestones.
