WTB baseball books and Western Canada

I am almost certain Won in the Ninth did come with a dust jacket. I have dozens of books with similar paste on covers for which I have dust jackets or seen copies. Dust jackets were the norm by 1900, but most were tossed away and not considered collectible.

I've been looking for 20+ years for Matty with no luck. For a book that is common, that is strange. However, last year I found a first for Pitching in the Pinch Putnam, which many said didn't exist, so I have hope eternal.

And the Guelph photo has found a good home 🇨🇦🇨🇦😀

Gotcha!! I was able to pick up a near pristine copy (w/o dust cover naturally) of Won In The Ninth on eBay recently, even still has the gold lettering of the title on the spine (I hadn't seen that in the other copies I owned).

Good to hear from ya.

Interesting on the gold lettering. The copies I have (and yes, I do have multiple copies! ) have black lettering. I'll check and see if any have gold remnants.

NY Book Co also did a reprint of this book, with the boards being a beige color.

Here's what mine looks like, Max. Not sure which version it is.
