Baseball photography books?

[doctor_gogol]

I'm interested in photo books focusing on on baseball imagery.

I'm particularly interested in the very early years through the 1930s.
I'd also love some books on the 40s-70s too, but I'm most interested in the early years.

I've seen many books that have nice photos as a part of a document of stories and stats. But I'm looking for books that focus on the images themselves.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here's #1 on the list: Baseball's Golden Age: The Photographs of Charles M Conlon.

They have several used copies for under $1 plus $4 shipping.

Conlon was the best ever IMO. I think his shot of Cobb going in hard to third base is the best baseball photo ever taken.

A hearty "second" on the Conlon book and the Cobb photo.

They made some very cool baseball card sets out of Conlon's photos in the 90's.

I remember buying complete Topps sets in the late 70s from Renatta Gallaso and they included a set of cards made from his photos. They are great!!
