Heroes of the Negro Leagues by Mark Chiarello & Jack Morelli - I wanted to read this book after a friend grabbed the last one on a recent visit to a used book store. So I had to order one new. It is a repackaging of a collection of watercolour trading cards with beautiful art and short bios of 60 Negro League players, like Cool Papa Bell, Satchel Page and Josh Gibson. Fun read.
