Hi all... I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with a book that I have.It is called "BASE-BALL HOW TO BECOME A PLAYER".It is dated 1890 and the author is JOHN MONTGOMERY WARD.I found a couple of first editions from 1888 and they were priced between $7,500-$8,700 dollars.I'm guessing mine is probably a second or third edition.It's in fairly good shape but has a couple of issues.There is rubbing on the cover and spine,about 20 pages where the very bottom corner of the page had been clipped and one page with a inch tear.None of the reading material is affected though.All in all,not real bad condition.It was published in Philadelphia by the PENN PUBLISHING COMPANY NO. 1124 ARCH STREET.If anyone could tell me a value,I'd appreciate it very much.Thanks ..... Ed

P.S. Thanks to slidekellyslide for telling me about this site.
