Wanted: Info on a book
 
Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>Good morning!<br>I would like to ask for some assistance with finding a book, and asking a question about its contents.<br>Barry Sloate was kind enough to fill me in on the existence of a book titled &quot;The Pittsburgh Pirates&quot; by Frederich Lieb, published in 1948 by GP Putnam.<br>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.<br><br>If there is, and anyone who owns this book can share, I would greatly appreciate whatever you can describe or scan.<br><br>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.<br>(This is the BST, after all)<br><br>Thanks everyone,<br>-and thank you for your time, Barry!<br>Jason<br>

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Good luck in your search Jason. The Putnams are not too hard to find, and I bet they are on ebay pretty regularly.
