Default Book recommendations about the Hobby

Hi everyone,

Please ignore my ignorance if there is already a thread on this, but does anyone have a favorite book or book they can recommend about the hobby of sports card collecting or the history of sports card collecting or just the hobby of card collecting?

Thanks

Adam

"The Card" is a good read. Also, "Mr. Mint" has some good stories about his major finds. I was able to get him (Rosen) to autograph my copy at a card show. He actually found it amusing that someone would want him to sign the book.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.

Peties Army, it will more than likely be cheaper for me to buy on Amazon then pay shipping to the UK from the St Louis. But thank you for the offer.
