Default 'Musts' for any vintage collectors library

with the books based on Charles Conlon and George Brace ballplayer photographs.


As a Tigers fan, I strongly recommend William M. Anderson's lavishly illustrated book, The Detroit Tigers: A Pictorial Celebration.


Other books with exceptional ballplayer (and related) photographs include these Mark Stang authored (co-authored) titles:

Athletics Album: A Photo History of the Philadelphia Athletics
Cardinals Collection: 100 Years of St. Louis Cardinal Images
Cubs Collection: 100 Years of Chicago Cubs Images
Indians Illustrated: 100 Years of Cleveland Indians Photos
Nationals on Parade: 70 Years of Washington Nationals Photos
Phillies Photos: 100 Years of Philadelphia Phillies Images
Reds in Black & White: 100 Years of Cincinnati Reds Images


Many of Donald Honig's authored books are well illustrated, although many of the images are a tad bit grainy.
But the books make for wonderful reading, as well as viewing.

Best of luck to you.
