| JOHNSON, HAROLD (SPEED). Who's Who in Major League Base Ball [Baseball]. Chicago:, Buxton Publishing Co.,, 1933., First Edition, Hardcover. The first of many books with a similar title including a few with this author and publisher. Quarto in red moire pattern cloth stamped in gilt. 544 pages illustrated by photographs. A wonderful book from the Golden Age of baseball (the year of the first All-Star Game). Most of the important figures from the first third of the century were still playing (a few managing). The book provides a photo portrait of hundreds of players and managers (not in uniform) with a full page biography and record of their careers. Only Babe Ruth got two pages. It includes people like Walter Johnson, Lou Gehrig, Rogers Hornsby, Chuck Klein and the immortal Van Lingle Mungo (a Dodger pitcher of little note except for his wonderful name). The book is remarkably nice condition with just minor edge wear and a gift note on the front pastedown. Otherwise clean, bright (a yellow tinted coated paper) and soundly bound. The scarce dustjacket is quite degraded although the cover illustration is largely intact. The jacket is in two pieces, separately about the middle of the spine. There are several pieces missing, perhaps amounting to 5% of the total. There are several large tears and the edges are fragile. Near Fine in Poor Dustjacket.
