19th Century Baseball Books

[Archive]

Posted By: Jason

I begain collecting 19th and early 20th century baseball books about one year ago and am always looking for a more material and/or suggesting for where to find such. I tend to collect lower grade stuff as I am not doing this for the investiment. Right now want list examples- but really just interested in any early reference to baseball or baseball like games

Harry Palmer Athletic Sports 1889
Early editions of Boy's Own Book - pre 1850 American Editions prefered
Early Guides- reach, spalding, beadle dewit pre 1890
Ball Player's Chronicles- single isues of orignials or the repo bound set
Noah brooks - How Our Team Won the Cahmpionship- pictorial covers (though I would be curious how different it is from fair port nine which I have in the St nicholas serial edition)
Henry Chadwick Baseball Manuel 1889

Look Forward To Hearing From You

Hello,

This isn't a book and not on your want list, but does have 19th century content. Check out the 1893 newspaper I have available.

Sorry if this is of no interest to you.

Thanks for the offer but I will have to pass- about 7 months ago I bought a bound run of papers from 1884 and I still haven't gotten around to dealing with them so no more newspaper for a while
