Baseball As America

Description: "Baseball As America” Edited by John Odell - Hardcover (Oversized 8-1/4" x 11") - Published in 2002 by National Geographic - 320 pages (with numerous great color and black & white photos) - EXCELLENT condition. Baseball As America examines how the American landscape, our language, literature, entertainment, food, and summertime living all bear the mark of a 19th-century game that has become intertwined with our nation's values and aspirations. Baseball As America is the official companion volume to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's unprecedented national traveling exhibition. There are more than 200 original and archival photographs that bring the game to life on its pages. Perfect for every baseball fan, indeed every American, Baseball As America is a comprehensive panorama of the game America has grown up with. In addition to the informative text, there are numerous photos of the stars of the game, the fans, the stadiums, uniforms, vintage baseball cards, publications, equipment, advertising items and many other forms of vintage baseball collectibles. There is only some very minor wear at the bottom of the spine (see the scan), but this book is still in EXCELLENT condition. No collection of books on baseball history is complete without this one. Check out the scan for 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; this book is long out of print! All previous buyers of my baseball books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please inquire. The book will be sent via Media mail in the USA to minimize shipping costs. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please request an invoice with 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. 4-18-22 -- 54.4
