The Young Pitcher
Vintage Zane Grey Western
This great collectible book was published in 1911 and has a gift inscription in the front and wear to the cover along the spine. Otherwise in very good condition for it's age.
This book evokes vivid images of intercollegiate sports in the early 1900s. The characters are warm and well-developed. The setting is nostalgic and timeless. Readers will puzzle over "Frosh on the fifth" and chuckle over the potato toss. The reader can feel the despair when Ken finds out what he has done to the Captain of the college baseball team, and feels his chances of making the varsity squad slip away in an instant. No one can keep from laughing out loud when the perfume is spread or the sweater put on. The combination of setting, characters and good old-fashoned baseball makes for very pleasant reading.
Please check out my other auctions for more vintage Zane Grey books and combined S/H opportunities.
No reserve at all! GOOD LUCK!
