Description: The Universal Baseball Association Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop., by Robert Coover. (Plume, New York, 1971, first paperback edition, 242 pages.) No less an authority than Bill James picked this novel as the best baseball novel of the 1960s (copyrighted 1968). Long before video games and sports metrics or even personal computers, you could invent your own ballgame with dice and charts. But what happened when the game started to take over your life and your sanity? Coover figured it out, and his novel tells the story. Good condition, normal light foxing. This novel is surprisingly rare, especially in this edition; used copies sell online in the range of $72 to $158 CDN.
