Default Recent pickup: History of Athletics at Princeton book

Posted By: Keith

Hey guys,

At a flea market this weekend, I picked up a large book entitled Athletics at Princeton, A History. The book is copyrighted in 1901. It contains team photos of all of there sports teams dating from the 1860s or 70's to 1900, with most of the pages dedicated to baseball and football. Also it contains boxscores for every baseball game played, as well as that for the football team. A pretty neat book, especially for me because of my vintage photo interest.

The book does have some major condition issues with a very poor binding. The back cover is completely unattached (though still present, and the front is very loose. I was curious if any of the collectors on here have had a book restored/rebound. If so, does anyone have an approximate cost on this?

Overall it was a good day at the flea market, with pickups including this book and 16 1940's college pennants at a buck a piece!

Here are some photos,
thanks guys, KJ
