Item description from seller

Camden House, Columbia, SC. 1984. Hardcover. Limited Edition #262. Facsimile reprint of the 1907 Edition. Volume II of the Camden House Library of Baseball Classics. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: As New. No DJ as issued. Brown leather boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on spine and front board. Introduction by Red Barber. Published in 1907, the Sol White Guide is the first work written about African American baseball. Much of what is known about the origins of Negro League baseball comes from this book.Sol White was a star player and manager in the early years of organized black baseball. In 1907 he teamed with sports writer and team owner Walter Schlichter to publish the first and only history of the stars, teams, and great feats of the era. The writing is all White’s; Schlicter provided the backing. This unique window into the important chapter in baseball history includes descriptions of the skills and feats of the top players, accounts and box scores of championship matches, and 57 invaluable photographs. Also included are essays by luminaries of the time: Art and Science of Hitting, by “Home Run” Johnson, and How to Pitch, by 1981 Hall of Fame inductee Rube Foster. A clean pristine copy.
