pele, his north american years: a tribute

The first photographic book exclusively about Pelé’s years with the New York Cosmos. Centered around three key games, his debut in 1975, the Soccer Bowl in 1977 and his Farewell the same year, the coffee-table sized book showcases those games in brilliant color photos.
