Thanks Barry, I am sure Max has a deeper understanding of the Putnam series and certainly you both know much more about the earlier issues on the game. I love all of them!

I like series of books, I have done a great deal of research on the Strode series of college football histories. A lengthy series that in no way compares to the well written Putnam baseball books, the Strodes range from excellent to gosh awful.

By the way Putnam started a football series that consisted of the Chicago Bears by Howard Roberts and the Green Bay Packers by Arch Ward. They also did two books in this period on Notre Dame. A later book by Roberts titled THE PRO FOOTBALL STORY would probably end their football offerings that match the period of their baseball books. All are well written.

Shoot! I forgot Roberts Putnam book on the Big Ten. I'll shut up now.

One more Putnam variant that I seem to recall. Doesn't a later printing of The Cubs have a different dust jacket, with cubs being depicted, or is my memory playing tricks?

Max I don't know, as I mentioned this is a beta version of the checklist, a later Cubs edition is exciting. Can someone tell us more?
