James beat me to the punch. I read The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book so many times it practically fell apart. As a pre-teen in the mid-1970s, seeing and reading about all of those great 1950s and '60s baseball cards -- and the classic Johnny U. football card -- along with the comments from the author, cemented my future as a collector.

That book is funny, informative, nostalgic and heart-warming. I haven't read it in years, but my bet is that it holds up well today. I know I still have my worn copy, and I might just have to go find it and read it again.
