Most of the classic older baseball books are available in electronic form, or have been reprinted, if you want reading copies.

However, the original editions are as much memorabilia as a Type 1 photo, an RPPC, a pennant, a game or baseball cufflinks (I can't believe I bid on some that recently ended!). As Bruce notes, they are treasures to maintain for the next generation, just as many of the other items we collect are.



I am a member and it is a very cool page.
