Some great summer reading for prewar collectors

Just finished the book The Greatest Season 1924. I thought it was a good read and since my card collecting generally leaves off at the year 1919 with the Black Sox, I was interested to read about players who had just begun to make a splash in the majors in the mid 20's as well as being surprised to hear about the exploits of 2 T207 players, George Mogridge and J. Fournier, who I assumed had careers that paralleled those of many of the other 207 players who merely had a cup of coffee. Both were very good players and integral to their teams. But of course 1924 was the year The Big Train finally got his championship and the one and only title for the Senators (at least until the transplanted team won in 1987 as the Twins).
