If you're a Portlander and don't want to wait for an Amazon delivery and a chance to read The Children of Vaughn, by all means head over to Nobby's, buy lunch and a brew, pick up a copy for a mere $15.
Ignore the review at Amazon, by the way. The typos have been fixed and the story was never meant to be a comprehensive history of baseball in Portland.
The reviewer is anonymous, of course, which any self-respecting critic would not choose to be.
ED: A second review has appeared at the Amazon page for this book. JoeB gets it and makes a great case for why the book deserves some recognition.
