Wanted: Info on a book

[Archive]

Posted By: Jason L

Good morning!
I would like to ask for some assistance with finding a book, and asking a question about its contents.
Barry Sloate was kind enough to fill me in on the existence of a book titled "The Pittsburgh Pirates" by Frederich Lieb, published in 1948 by GP Putnam.
What I would like to know is whether or not this book contains any material references to my cousin, Lee Handley, who played some infield for them in the 1930s and '40s.

If there is, and anyone who owns this book can share, I would greatly appreciate whatever you can describe or scan.

And as these things usually go, if there is some good material in there, and someone has the book available for sale, please let me know.
(This is the BST, after all)

Thanks everyone,
-and thank you for your time, Barry!
Jason

Good luck in your search Jason. The Putnams are not too hard to find, and I bet they are on ebay pretty regularly.

Jason,

Do a search on Amazon.com. I just did and they have many results from their affiliates.

Personally, I'd go for the hardcover editions.

thank you so much.
I had no idea you could search the contents of a book and see excerpts like that!
a few mentions, including a quote - good stuff.
thanks again
Jason
