I know it's a longshot, but I'm looking to get my hands on the original works of Bill James, the Baseball Abstracts that were printed from 1977-1988. I know some of them are available online, but I was wondering if anyone on this board has any/all/some of these books they're willing to part with.....if so please respond or PM me. Thanks in advance!

Wow, those were printed on actual "mimeograph", weren't they?

The first five or so were self published, I believe. Starting with the 1982 edition, I think they were all published by Ballantine Books.

Are planning to be in McCovey Cove to catch 755? That would seem to be some pretty rare stuff.
