Posted By: <b>paulstratton</b><p>Hi Max, <br /><br />Is there a guide to baseball books and their relative values and/or difficulty? <br /><br />Thanks, Paul

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>Paul<br /><br />Any price guides to books are generally wildly inaccurate. There are several good bibliographies (Grobani, 1972; McCue Baseball by the Books for fiction) but they don't deal with value or scarcity. <br /><br />Barry Sloate is very knowledgeable and published an article in VCBC 7 on the early baseball books<br /><br />There are a few very good baseball book dealers--Bobby Plapinger in Ashland OR and Wayne Greene in NYC--who put out catalogues.<br /><br />If you ever have a question about scarcity or value of a book, send me an email and I'll do my best to answer<br /><br />Max
