About this Item

16.5x11 cm. Original wrappers, chipped. Large chip at top left corner of front wrapper with loss. Disbound, with contents slit at the spine so all pages are loose. Chipping at edges and corners, with tears to some pages. Lacks title page/preface and portrait of Roger Conner, both present in photocopy. Ex-NYPL. 100, 12 pp., with the last 12 pages being a catalogue of Spalding's line of baseball equipment. The very poor quality of the paper used leads to chipping at the edges and corners. This is a fairly early work on baseball techniques, as well as being an early catalogue dedicated to baseball equipment. In spite of the condition and defects, this is a very scarce piece due to the fragility of the paper used. Published as No. 4 of Spalding's Library of Athletic Sports by A. G. Spalding & Bros. OCLC 4698971 (4 loc.). Seller Inventory # b01747
