B.'s Stadium Book gets WP write up
My next door neighbor/co-worker B. has his book Capital Sporting Grounds out now and his book got some love from Marc Fisher. I just got the book in my hot little hands today, and I hope to give an honest as I can report of it once done.I'm a bit more interested in Capital Sporting Grounds than the other book he released last year, because its topic is development history in Washington DC. Also B. gave a pretty interesting presentation sometime back at the Historical Society about stadium development and some of the backroom dealing involved. B. is interested in the story and I look forward to experiencing his storytelling.

Is your neighbor selling copies of his book personally? It looks very interesting and I would love to buy one. I could order off of the link you provided, but if he has copies on hand, I would rather just buy from him directly if that is an option.
Yes, he is selling some copies directly and via the publisher's link. Contact him through his website bla2222.wordpress.com/ by leaving a comment because I see that he doesn't have a way to contact him any other way. The publisher I believe offers free shipping.
Note, I will bring the contact thing to his attention.
This looks like an interested read. However I find it interesting that the book is about stadium building in Washington, DC and he chose a photo of FedEx Field in Prince George's County for the cover.
