DEAR SUN SPOTS: In the Wednesday, Aug. 12, Sun Spots column, could Debra S. in Livermore, who requested help finding the 2015 Boston Year Book, have been referring to the 2015 Red Sox Official Yearbook? In the past, I have always purchased Red Sox Yearbooks in the supermarket or a bookstore, but was unable to find one this year. I went online at www.yawkeywaystore.com and ordered one for $10 plus shipping and handling fees. The telephone number listed on their website is 1-800-FENWAY-9. Their address is 19 Yawkey Way, Boston, MA 02215. Hope this information is helpful. — TC in Oxford.
