Playing the Game
My Early Years in Baseball
Babe Ruth Edited by William R. Cobb With a New Introduction by Paul Dickson
First serialized in 1920, the Sultan of Swat’s breezy account of his early life is rich with recollections of his childhood, his transition from pitcher to outfielder, and the blockbuster trade that sent him from the Red Sox to the Yankees. This original edition features new notes and photographs plus an Introduction by sports historian Paul Dickson.

The American Diamond
A Documentary of the Game of Baseball
Branch Rickey and Robert Riger
Written in 1965 by the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers executive who helped integrate baseball by signing Jackie Robinson, these warm, insightful reminiscences evoke the thrills and drama of our national pastime, from the Little Leagues to the Big Show. Rickey’s intimate knowledge of baseball greats enlivens his “immortal” and “all-time team” selections, and he evokes the season’s thrills and drama, from spring training through the Pennant race. A noted sports artist illustrates Rickey’s highly readable narrative with 250 outstanding drawings and photo-graphs.

The Return of
Sherlock Holmes
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
In “The Final Problem,” the tale that preceded this collection, the world’s most famous detective had a seem-ingly fatal encounter with his nemesis, Professor Moriarty. When Sherlock Holmes’ devoted fans refused to allow Arthur Conan Doyle to kill their beloved sleuth, the author complied with 13 more stories, which originally appeared in The Strand magazine. The adventures include “The Empty House,” “The Dancing Men,” and “The Six Napoleons.”

The Thirty-Nine Steps

In this fast-paced spy thriller, a young Englishman stumbles upon a plot involving not only espionage and mur-der but also the future of Britain itself. A long-running Broadway show and four film versions — including Alfred Hitchcock’s acclaimed 1935 movie — attest to this tale’s popularity. The first entry in Buchan’s “Greenmantle” series.

LITERATURE
Growth of
the Soil
Knut Hamsun Translated by W. W. Worster
Rich in symbolism, this Nobel Prize–winning epic recaptures the world of Norwegian homesteaders at the turn of the 20th century. It recounts the struggles of Isak and Inger, who reject modern society to raise their family on a back coun-try farm. Isak’s embrace of outdoor life reflects the author’s attitude of rugged individualism and his back-
to-nature philosophy. “Among the very greatest novels I have ever read.” — H. G. Wells.
Reprint of the New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1921 edition.
Mr. Midshipman
Easy
Frederick Marryat
A stirring tale from the days of wooden ships, this 1836 novel recounts a philosophi-cal young man’s initiation into the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. The author based this seafaring classic on his own experi-ences sailing with Lord Thomas Cochrane, the real-life model for Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey. “Marryat’s adven-tures are enthralling: the
rapidity of his action fascinates. . . . His greatness is undeni-able.” — Joseph Conrad.
Reprint of the Saunders & Otley, London, 1836 edition.
Iola Leroy,
or, Shadows
Uplifted
Frances E. W. Harper
“Probably the bestselling novel by an African-American before the 20th century” ( The New York Times ), this 1892 work explores complex issues of race, politics, and class. Iola Leroy, a wealthy planter’s mixed-race daughter, rejects a life of “passing” and devotes herself to the improvement of black soci-ety. This literary landmark offers a striking portrait of
black life during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Reprint of the Garrigues Brothers, Philadelphia, 1892 edition.
Quo Vadis
A Tale of the
Time of Nero
Henryk SienkiewiczTranslated by Jeremiah Curtin
One of the world’s first best-sellers, this historical novel contrasts the decadence of ancient Roman society with the simplicity and spiritual power of the earli-est Christians. An epic tale of the romance between a young Christian convert and a Roman soldier, it mixes fictional and real-life char-acters such as Nero and the
saints Peter and Paul. This edition features the only autho-rized translation.
