A Word from Our Sponsor, April 12, 2006

I have begged for sales in a while, so I’ll put this up while I finish up my taxes over the next few days.

Here are the books I have published since I started Baseball Press Books.  All are still in print, and for sale.  Every month or so, I’ll post this price list for the connivance of new readers, and those I’ve missed on my mailing list.  These are some of the best baseball books ever published, and, needles to say, should be in every baseball fan’s library.
