Palmer also wrote another book on the 1888 Tour. It's called: "Sights Around The World with the Base Ball Boys: Most Interesting Sketches of the Famous Sights of the World as They Were Seen By The Gay Travelers on the "Round The World" Tour of American BaseBall Players". I believe much of the text is reprinted from his 1888 book, and there are no beautiful colour photos.

Here's a bookseller scan of the 1888 book (again from Between the covers)



The edition pictured is the plain binding. There are at least two other types of bindings, and a salesman sample of the book (which is the coolest of all). I'll try and dig up a scan of the latter.

The 1888 book is common. The on-line prices are high, but the book does show up on ebay regularly, selling in the $300 range.
