Description: "The Fireside Book of Baseball - All-New 4th Edition" Edited by Charles Einstein - 1st EDITION 1st PRINT (of the All-New 4th Edition) Softcover (7-3/8" x 9-1/4") - Published in 1987 by Fireside Books - 444 pages (with many great black & white photos and cartoons -- including a great World War II era game action photo of the one-armed Pete Gray) - EXCELLENT condition. The first Fireside Book of Baseball was published in 1956 and became an instant classic. It contained over 100 text pieces -- articles, fiction, poetry, reminisces and accounts of games, as well as cartoons and drawings relating to baseball. This 4th all-new edition is no different. See the scan of the back cover for what you can expect to find in this outstanding book. Again, this is the 4th edition - all four are completely different, so don't get confused thinking that the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions are simply updates of the 1st edition. If you like this 4th edition, you'll want to add the first three to your collection as well. I haven’t read all the books I have for sale, but I have read this one and it is outstanding. It is a must read for any true baseball fan interested in the history and the literature of the game. There is only some very minor edge wear, but this book is still in EXCELLENT condition. No collection of baseball books is complete without this one. Check out the scan for the photo on the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out! All previous buyers of my baseball books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item or lot, please request an invoice for the appropriate combined shipping discount. See my auctions and my eBay store for hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions. 3-11-24 -- 33.6
