Cubs Annual 2009

Review of Cubs Annual 2009 posted on CubHub.net

Star-divide

I just posted a review of Cubs Annual 2009, a new book edited by Al Yellon and published by Maple Street Press:

http://blog.cubhub.net/2009/04/02/review-cubs-annual-2009/

This is a great read, and really a must have for any serious Cub fan. I've found no better primer for the 2009 season coming to the NorthSide. You can get a copy today at your favorite newsstand!

What book?

I haven’t heard of this book yet. Didn’t even know it was out. Maybe it could be publicized in Fanshots or front page articles, etc.

It’s truly a great read!! I really enjoyed it. Both last year and this year were great!

Thanks to all of you who have bought the annual.

Shameless promotion: you can order your copy here. Or, it should still be available at Chicago-area bookstores and places like Target. I had one report that it was on sale in a supermarket in western Pennsylvania — so check around.

And remember — it has no advertising!
