Sobre este artículo
New York: Viking, 1994. A beautiful, pristine copy. As New condition in bright, shiny, As New Dust Jacket. No chips. No tears. No fading. No creases. Not a book club edition. No remainder marks. No owner's name or bookplate. Bright, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Sharp corners. Fresh and crisp, obviously never read. "First published in 1994" is so stated, with complete number row (13579 10 8642) on copyright page. Photo illustrated. Index. Selected play-by-play, sometimes pitch-by-pitch accounts of 9 memorable baseball games, including: The Shot Heard Round the World (Bobby Thomson); The Haddix Game (the tragic loss by pitcher Harvey Haddix, when being perfect is not good enough); The Fisk Game (Carlton Fisk's memorable night in Boston); The Houston Marathon (16 innings that decided the 1986 National League Pennant); The $15,000 slide (the most famous game of the 19th Century); Bill Mazeroski's homer decides the epic 1960 World series; etc. From Publishers Weekly: "Gutman explores nine of the greatest baseball games ever played, from no-hitters to slugfests. Coverage here includes exciting play-by-play commentary and black-and-white photos." From School Library Journal: "As even the author acknowledges, choosing the top nine games in the long history of baseball is quite a challenge, and there are those who would probably argue with his selections. However, such disagreements are what make baseball a beloved sport, and there can be no doubt that this book is a lot of fun to read. Gutman's descriptions of the games don't get bogged down in too many details, and he has an old-fashioned, snappy, sportswriter's style that's just right." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Cream cloth spine / red boards/DJ Not Price Clipped (14.99). 8vo. xi, 212pp.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
