“One of the most seductively designed books about the sport to come our way. . . . A book like this, so rich and deep in material. . . . brings baseball history to multifaceted life and reminds us that baseball is the sport that celebrates its history more than any other. . . . This book itself is a form of time-traveling—a pleasurable, often surprising and aesthetic trip.” —San Diego Union-Tribune

Baseball, the sport that helped reunify the country in the years after the Civil War, remains the National Pastime. The Library of Congress houses the world's largest baseball collection, documenting the history of the game and providing a unique look at America since the late 1700s. Baseball Americana presents the best of the best from that treasure trove. From baseball's biggest stars to street urchins, from its most newsworthy stories to sandlot and Little League games, the book examines baseball's hardscrabble origins, rich cultural heritage, and uniquely American character.

The more than 350 fabulous illustrations—many never before published—feature first-generation, vintage photographic and chromolithographic baseball cards; photographs of famous players and ballparks; and newspaper clippings, cartoons, New Deal photographs, and baseball advertisements. Packed with images that will surprise and thrill even the most expert collector, Baseball Americana is a gift for every baseball fan.

Eleven all-new stories of international travel and unforeseen fly fishing misadventures from the author of the popular International Misadventures with the aid of a Fly Rod. From the land of steaming volcanoes, grizzlies and giant rainbow trout in Kamchatka, Russia to the tropical shallows of the Mexican Caribbean; from the windblown pampas of Patagonia to the flats of the remote Southern Bahamas, we’ll attempt to overcome the challenges of hostile nature, unfamiliar waters, broken equipment and bad luck to land the fish of our dreams. The unique history, ecology and fascinating people of these destinations will play an integral role in each adventure. Closer to home in Yellowstone, Alaska, British Columbia, California and Pyramid Lake, Nevada where we pursue 20-pound cutthroat trout, we’ll guide ourselves with the outcome always in doubt. Expect the unexpected; danger, laughter, fear, near miracles, tragedy, lost trophies and, of course, more terrifying grizzly encounters.

One of Theodore Roosevelt's favourite books, this classic set the stage for deer hunting in America. Stillhunting requires total commitment and awareness of the environment, even more so than stand hunting, and a hunter tends to see more deer while stillhunting.

Dust cover is wrinkled on back but book is   not affected. 

All the history, tradition, agony, and ecstasy of golf shine through in these words by players, professional and amateur. Organized into categories such as “Golf Defined,” “The Mental Game,” and “Caddies,” the quotes come from such links lovers as Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and more. Some are modest (“I don’t know if you’re ever finished trying to improve”—Woods), others supremely confident (“I don’t know why you’re practicing so hard to finish second”—Babe Zaharias to her competitors), and they’re all fun.
