$3000 and 75 pounds

That's what it costs and weighs. The Official Major League Baseball Opus book debuts with Tuesday's All-Star Game.  With more than 1,000 photographs and 110.000 words, it's a baseball lover's dream.

According to The New York Times, you won't find the book at your local Boarders bookstore.

"The leather-bound book, “The Official Major League Baseball Opus,” will come out in a limited edition (1,000 copies), packaged in a silk-covered clamshell case. The huge volume is targeted to teams, corporations, wealthy fans, museums and collectors. An abridged, 26-pound version is available for $295.

 "Throughout the book, there are profiles of numerous players — Hall of Famers like Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, and current superstars like Alex Rodriguez and Albert Pujols. But the absence from this roster of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, who have both been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs, is noticeable, if not glaring."
