INTERESTING UPDATE: 'The Fan -- His Book' 1910 guide
I picked up the booklet below recently, mainly because of the drawing of Lajoie on the cover. It appears to have been produced and distributed in Cleveland by The Guardian Savings & Trust Company. Measures a bit less than 3 x 6 inches and has 44 pages of schedules, records, etc.
It's not unreasonable to think that the bank issued these in more than one season. I know there are a number of Cleveland collectors who read the board. Does anyone have one of these from a season other than 1910? (I'm not going to ask if you want to sell it; I'd like to know whether Lajoie is on the cover of booklets from other years.) Thanks, Rob Last edited by Rob D.; 04-19-2013 at 06:58 PM.

According to Anton Grobani, who compiled a definitive checklist of baseball books, guides, and pamphlets, it was only issued in 1910. Looks pretty scarce, never saw one before.

Rob,
Any chance it was published by Felix Mendelsohn? It looks like this 1916 booklet I won awhile back and at the time, I believe there was a 1915 booklet of the same name as mine also published by Mendelsohn for a bank.
