Brooklyn Dodgers yearbooks were first published in 1941 and then intermittently until 1949, at which point they became an annual offering. Presented here is a complete run from 1941 to 1957, consisting of twelve yearbooks. Interestingly, the rarest of the group is not the 1941 first issue, but the second yearbook, titled "The Dodger Victory Book," published in 1942. The 1947 yearbook offered here includes the special Jackie Robinson insert, which was added to all yearbooks published after Robinson signed with the Dodgers. Starting with the 1951 yearbook, each cover featured an image of the iconic "Brooklyn Bum," created by noted cartoonist Willard Mullin. The collection consists of the following years: 1941 (VG), 1942 (GD-VG), 1947 (VG), 1949 (GD-VG, with light staining on the back cover), 1950 (VG), 1951 (VG), 1952 (GD-VG, light staining on back cover), 1953 (VG), 1954 (GD-VG), 1955 (VG), 1956 (VG), and 1957 (EX).
