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.

I've got a few more since this photo.
Full Bleed and Dysfunctional are probably my favourites.

Good little write ups about each graphic as well.
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.

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)
If you want to get to know a little bit more about the Predators, there's this little project I did...

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.
