Authored by Mark Cooper, M.D.
with Douglas, Congdon-Martin, "Baseball
Games: Home Versions of the National
Pastime, 1860s-1960s," was published by Schiffer
Publishing.
Baseball and board game collectors alike will be thrilled with this
wonderful book. Illustrated in
full-color, it contains nearly every
baseball board or table game produced
from the 1860s to the 1960s. With the
games reflecting the evolution of the
National Pastime, this is a visual
history of the game. Information about
the games is included in accurate
captions, and the context for the games
in the history of the professional game
is provided by the helpful text.
There is a wealth of information for collectors, including tips on the
dating of games and rating their
condition. There is also a price guide
to help the collector assess a fair
value for the games. All in all, this
is an important new book for collectors
and historians of the game. In a time
when board games are giving way to the
fast pace of computers, this is a
delightful reminder of simpler times.
