"Double Blue: An Illustrated History of the Toronto Argonauts" (2007)

Double Blue: An Illustrated History of the Toronto Argonauts, edited by Jim O’Leary and Wayne Parrish (Toronto, ON: ECW Books, 2007).

A heavily illustrated, informative overview of the storied, oldest football franchise in North America. As a historian, I found the coffee-table format a bit light for my liking, and many of the stories would have benefitted from some sourcing, but the book was entertaining. The photography was phenomenal. A must for fans, for those wanting to understand the CFL, or the history of the league, the book will likely leave you wanting.
