Default 'Musts' for any vintage collectors library

Some good books up there, guys!

ADD:

The Ballplayers, Shatzkin and Charlton.
The Minor League Register, Lloyd Johnson.
The Pacific Coast League A Statistical History, Dennis Snelling.


I've not read The Big Bam, so I'll trust Barry on that one.

The SABR Deadball books are a great addition, David.

Dennis, your additions are good ones, James' Historical Abstract, the original one, is essential; and Honig's 'Grass was Real' is one fine book.

Creamer's book about 1941 is a really good book, as is Halberstam's October 1964, it is about so much more than that World Series.

The big ones are The Standard Catalog, Mr. Lipset's fine books, Mr. Burdick's Catalog, and Scot Reader's work.


If you can add a couple of fiction books, #1 The Celebrant, #2 If I Never Get Back.

Frank.
