Summer of '49 is a really great book.

Thanks Chris. Just nabbed one on ebay.
Thanks to all yous guys! I bought FIVE books today for like $20-25 bucks and never left the house. And best of all, I got great selections from guys who are just as passionate about the game as me. Darn, I could have gone to B&N and asked the girl at the info desk what she would recommend I buy.
