Price: $450.00
Hardcover. Revised and enlarged edition. Cloth and pictorial paper over boards. Boards rubbed and worn, a small chip on the title page, alphabet near the front of the book partially colored, a good or better copy.

Unlike most pre-Civil War baseball illustrations, the batter has actually assumed a likely looking stance that could possibly result in success.
