RARE Roycroft Baseball Elbert Hubbard Help Please

[Aquifer]

Laura,
No help to you but can't resist commenting that my father was named for Elbert Hubbard (Nelson) and we have a number of leather bound turn-of-the-century books at home that I got from aunts and uncles over a period of years authored by Hubbard. Have only briefly even looked at them but they sit on the bookshelf out of memory for my dad and his family. Was always uncomfortable with his name as a boy--I mean, whose dad is named Elbert Hubbard? Just mine. Anyhow, thanks to all who commented on this--I don't know a great deal about Hubbard. A bit but this adds to it. Thx

I have the original of the booklet somewhere and will hopefully be able to dig it out of hiding next week. If I recall correctly, it has at least a cover illustration of a boy with a baseball, as the google copy doesn't seem to have the cover.

Eric, interesting stuff, the books have some value, some more than others and there are various ways to check what you have. if you would like to shoot me a list i could try to point you in the right direction. be careful with the leather bindings that are limp leather, as they are not that stable, you also might like to look in the back of each book to see if it was one of the limited numbered editions, and whether or not the illustrator is named. good luck
