"Behind the Scenes Baseball" vs "The Book on the Book"

[kurt123]

Can folks compare and contrast these two? Would you recommend one over the other?

It's been a great spring for books. I recently purchased:
Baseball Between the Numbers
The Book
The Fielding Bible

Thanks in advance for your comments...

some online reviews: hope this helps

I haven't yet read the two books you are asking about, but I have heard about them and seen some reviews. I've given the links to some reviews below. I do have the other three titles you mention, and I like them all, especially the Fielding Bible and The Book.

Thanks. The 2nd & 3rd reviews of "The Book on the Book" were particularly helpful. I think I'm going to pass on that one.
