Post-War:

- *Baseball's Finest* and *We Played the Game*, both edited/written by Danny Peary
- The Boys of Summer
- *The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubblegum Book* . Nothing serious with this book, but we all need a good laugh once in a while, so why not combine our hobby with our humor?!

Pre-War:

-Agree with the person who selected the most famous works of Ritter and Honig. As a companion item, a must-have is the audio version of TGOTT; you can't beat it! Bill James' books are also wonderful.

-Fiction: Hoopla by Harry Stein. I believe this gem to be long out of print since its original publication in 1983. A great book that either nobody ever read or nobody ever mentions.

Let's not forget MacMillan's Encyclopedia or Total Baseball. Also, *The Sports Encyclopedia: Baseball* , can be helpful in different ways, although earlier editions were rife with typographical errors.


I am interested to hear Max's selections in this regard. He will likely have some great recommendations for us.
