Edit: How could I forget the Culture Pulp piece? This was my first introduction to the Timbers.

We've since hired a new coach who earned us a CONCACAF Champions League spot and an MLS Playoff spot! Neither resulted in a trophy. We also had the best loss in team history.

Last year was marred with early injuries and a slow start that resulted in a disappointing finish.

this photo is real and everyone should buy patagonia's book of their greatest catalog photos, its really quite amazing if you're into that kind of thing. unexpected

Get Blabac's skate photography book. Full of great stuff. I think he's the best photographer in skateboarding.

u/eltictac · 4 pointsr/skateboarding

Here's some of mine:

I've got a few more since this photo.

Full Bleed and Dysfunctional are probably my favourites.
And, as someone else mentioned, Disposable is dedicated to board graphics.


edit: This is a good recent one about controversial board graphics:

Good little write ups about each graphic as well.

u/mick010238 · 3 pointsr/skateboarding

There are some books that photographers have put out that are absolutely perfect coffee table books. Mike Blabac has one and [this one is all about New York skating.] I think Atiba Jefferson has a book like this, and there's on Ive seen in a shop that is all to do with skate products which you might like (I can try find out the name if you want)

u/jamandbees · 3 pointsr/climbing

The Steve Roper book is pretty good, but having read it I'd recommend the newer "Yosemite in the Fifties" and "Yosemite in the Sixties" books over it. The Roper book is way less expensive, but these books are dynamite.

u/ibeckman671 · 5 pointsr/formula1

You should definitely take a look at this http://www.amazon.com/Formula-One-Circuits-Above-High-Definition/dp/1780975481

It's a great book :D

u/hippyneil · 1 pointr/formula1

There are literally dozens of F1 books out there. Browse around for one that looks like what you want.

As an example, I found this on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Formula-Illustrated-History-Bruce-Jones/dp/1780976313

I haven't read it but it looks quite good.

u/mgmlz · 1 pointr/DetroitRedWings

u/empw · 2 pointsr/formula1

I love my "Formula 1 Circuits from Above" coffee table book.

u/synthkat · 1 pointr/gameswap

Clicked on your profile by accident and noticed you made posts in r/NFL. I have some really great football books if you're interested. Here's one: https://www.amazon.com/Football-Nation-Hundred-Years-Americas/dp/0810997622
Here's the other: http://m.ebay.com/itm/282212731192?_mwBanner=1

u/Wheezin_Ed · 4 pointsr/BostonBruins

Not a book that you would read, but I like photography so I enjoy this one.

u/Subie_doo · 1 pointr/chibike

Chicago has so much cycling history. A local cyclist, Chris McAuliffe, who is on xXx Racing published a great book for anyone interested in more.

u/bozo78 · 1 pointr/judo

Yeah - both that and the title are quotes from this book
