First, is this what it looks like, yes or no?

Second, can anyone confirm if this is an authentic MLB "Blue Book" from one of the 2 professional umpire schools?

The MLBUM comes from MLB, not the schools.

Never seen a hard copy so I can't commernt on it's validity.

with my own eyes, i saw the book that MLB uses that was in Steve Palermo's bag last season...it's the blue book that is on the Jim Evans website. that is what palermo told me to buy and he showed me the book...that's the one i'm using for OBR interpretations

Evans has the PBUC manual on his web site but that isn't what is pictured in the ebay offering.

The book on Ebay, which was purchased by our own Sal, is the MLBUM. It's the same 2002 edition that I have, I believe.
