How to Play Baseball by Connie Mack, 1904
I recently picked up this paperbound book, published by Brewer, Barse & Co (perhaps a predecessor of Barse & Hopkins). As you can see, it has no covers.
Grobani 9-8 lists this as published by Drexel Biddle, 1903, 1908. The Brewer Barse publication is the 1908 edition. Has anyone seen the covers for this second edition? If so, I'd love to see a scan. It's a great book on the inside, even if printed on cheap and brittle paper. Some very cool photos which you don't often see, and I try and take some photos of them.

Max- looks like you found an edition that Grobani didn't know.

(1904 is a typo is my title, by the way). Grobani did identify the 1908 edition, but I suspect he just didn't identify it as the Brewer Barse edition. However, that's just conjecture. Have you seen any edition of this before? Max

I'm pretty sure I've seen a copy at auction, with the covers, but I never owned one so I am not familiar with the publishing information. It's a fairly scarce guide.

Some photos. Haven't seen the one of Mathewson before.
