Amazon.com: Flip Flop Fly Ball: An Infographic Baseball Adventure 9781608192694: Craig Robinson: Books
Posted by Sean Forman on June 27, 2011
I've enjoyed Craig's website Flip Flop Flyball for a long time now, so I was very excited when a preview copy of him book showed up this weekend. After I finish reading it and digesting the graphics, it is going to go on my bookshelf next to my Edward Tufte collection. I believe it is the best book of sports graphics ever produced.

I guess this isn't the same Craig Robinson who played for the Phillies and Braves...

Glad to hear that it's a nice book.
I ordered it last November from Amazon.com. I checked now and the delivery estimate is December 8, 2010 - July 18, 2011. Sometimes that website drives me nuts.

Thank you for the kind words, Sean. Were it not for B-R...
Jim and Jiffy: neither of those, no. But my sister did buy me a signed Craig Robinson baseball card from when he was a Brave. It's the best birthday present she ever bought me.
Michael: It's published on July 5th, so it should be there soon. Thank you for ordering it! Hope you enjoy it.

They didn't give you a time of day, say noon, somewhere in that one-year window?
