History of Colored Base Ball by Sol White (1907)

History of Colored Base Ball by Sol White (1907)

First edition of the first definitive history of the Negro Leagues. The most important book of its kind, as only a handful are known to exist. This is a yearbook type of publication, 128 pages in length with a bountiful exploration of the stars of the game. The teams and gentlemen who defined the game are resplendent in graphic photography. Extensive multi-thousand dollar restoration is so expertly done as to not be noticed upon first glance. It has now put it into a viewing state of being one of the best-known condition specimens. Amazingly, this is an ex-Library of Congress copy that was sold at one of its infamous book sales in the 1960s and '70s and sold for a song. How incredible that this would become one of the most valuable sports books in the world.
