4.		The Old Ball Game: How John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, and the New York Giants Created Modern Baseball from Atlantic Monthly Press Price: $4.25 Customer Review: This is an incredible book that shows baseball history pre-Babe Ruth.

5.	[no image]	Everybody's All-American (Signet) from Signet Customer Review: Nephew narrator nauseatingly hangs around football star's wife. Lineman accidentally sits on a chihuahua. Characters are all stereotypes. Deford is an excellent writer, but I'll stay with the nonfiction. Easy reading.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.	[no image]	An American Summer: A Novel (Beeler Large Print Series) from Thomas T. Beeler Publisher Price: $29.95 Customer Review: A wonderful coming-of-age story and an real pleasure to read. Despite the simple story line of a single summer in the life of a young boy, the characters were well-drawn and complex, and presented a series of dilemmas that are universal despite the period piece.

The Virtuoso: Face to Face With 40 Extraordinary Talents from Stewart Tabori & Chang Price: $6.95 Customer Review: I purchased "Virtuoso" solely for the inclusion of wire walker/artist, Philippe Petit ("Man On Wire" film fame).
