My book, "After Many a Summer: The Passing of the Giants and Dodgers and a Golden Age in New York Baseball," is available at Amazon.com asnd will be in Barnes and Noble and other stores next week. It is the first book to discuss the departure of both teams together, and and it provides a more nuanced and complex view of events than recent books blaming Robert Moses and exonerating Walter O'Malley.
