1908 Illustrated Cuban Baseball Book with Negro League photos
 

Just picked up a copy of Raoul Diez Muro 1908 2nd edition history of Cuban baseball. The 1949 edition is somewhat rare but comes up once in a while. The 1907 First edition is very rare but somewhat less interesting as it is not illustrated. The 1908 edition is beyond rare and is one of the most beautiful early baseball histories with images that appear nowhere else. Includes a image of the 1908 Habana team that featured Rube Foster, Home Run Johnson, and one of the few images of Pete Hill

Cool collection. I love it when someone finds value in beat up books that others pass over.

Wow! Those are great!

Very nice. I always love book posts, especially important historical ones.

Those are great . Thanks for showing us!!!

Great pick-up, Jason. Really love that Habana team photo, never seen it before.

I don’t think it exists outside of the book. If the original photo existed I would be one of the most valuable negro league photos in existence

You're right, Jason. With the premium on postcards these days, imagine if that was one of those....
