Sobre este artículo
Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press, 1989. As New condition in bright, shiny, As New Dust Jacket. No chips. No tears. No fading. No creases. No rubbing. 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. A scholarly study of several aspects of the business of professional baseball, including finances, hidden revenue, free agency, and other economic pressures on the game that impact both on and off the field. Illustrated with many charts and tables. Chapter notes. Index. From the Dust Jacket: "Written in a style accessible to discerning fans, Gerald W. Scully's THE BUSINESS OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL identifies the many economic pressures exerted on the game today and measures their effects both on the field and in the ticket office. He presents a detailed and original analysis of traditional baseball performance statistics from slugging to fielding and draws on a wealth of previously unpublished data divulged in recent collusion suits. At the heart of the controversy are the disparate claims of owners, who say they are loosing money and stay on only out of love for the game, and players, who insist they are being exploited by owner reaping huge profits.". Second printing. Hardcover. Original blue cloth/Jacket not priced or clipped. 8vo. xiv, 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).
