Which one of two similar books should you buy? Mar 03, 2006
By Chris Thomas
"chrtho"
Two books with similar titles came out within weeks of each other. Which one should you buy?
The books are:
DAY BY DAY WITH THE BOSTON RED SOX by Bill Nowlin
RED SOX JOURNAL by John Synder. Snyder's book is subtitled "Year by Year & Day by Day with the Boston Red Sox Since 1901."
Nowlin's book looks like the better one to me, but anyone who can afford both should buy both as they complement each other well. Both books try to look at interesting things that happened on given dates in Red Sox history.
If you want to look up a given year, say 1958, Snyder's book is better because it's organized by year. If you want to look up a given date and see everything that happened on that particular date, Nowlin's book works better because it's organized by the day of the year.
Nowlin's book costs $17.95. Snyder's book costs almost twice as much, a full $12 more: $29.95. Snyder's book has 92 more pages, but the pages aren't as densely packed with information. At first glance, the two books seem to have about the same amount of information.
The Nowlin book is easier to handle, given its size and shape. The Snyder book is a little unwieldy.
Both books offer incredible, almost unprecedented amount of detail. Snyder's book sprinkles a dozen or so photographs throughout. It's going to take weeks to read through the two books for content, but there's one troubling gaffe right on the back cover of the Snyder book. His publisher cites the sale of Babe Ruth to the Yankees for $125,000 on January 5, 1920. The sale actually occurred in 1919 on December 26, and the price was an even $100,000.
The amount of work that went into these books is staggering. It's too bad they both came out at practically the same time. Both books merit five stars.

Amazing Accomplishment Mar 17, 2006
By Teddy Ballgame
Bill Nowlin has created something very special here: surely the most complete day to day history of the Boston Red Sox ever written. The book was inspired by the comprehensive 1978 compendium This Date in Boston Red Sox History,authored by my friend and mentor, the late Ed Walton. Nowlin's book may be the greatest literary tribute one could pay to Ed.
In order to write a book such as Day by Day, you have to have two characteristics:
- an abiding, all-consuming love of the Boston Red Sox
- an almost obsessive need to document, with painstaking accuracy, every aspect of their history
Nowlin possesses both of these "qualities" in spades. He is obviously a tireless researcher, yet he manages to bring a sense of humor to what could be a very dry and lifeless project. Day by Day brings Red Sox history alive in a very unique way. Turn to any date - your birthday perhaps - and you will doubtless discover something interesting, if not fascinating.
I can't imagine a Red Sox fan not having this book in her or his library. It is definitive.
