The Bookshelf Conversation: Fred Harris

May 12, 2015

bbcbooSometimes things just work out in surprising fashion.

Last week I received an e-mail from Fred Harris to let me know he was re-releasing one of my favorite books, The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading And Bubblegum Book, co-written with Brendan Boyd, as an e-book (though previous versions are still available on-line).

TGABCFTABB is a marvelous combination of boomer memorabilia, appreciation, and just plain fun. So how I could let this opportunity to chat with Harris get away, especially when I somehow had a brain freeze and omitted TGABCFTABB from 501 Baseball Books Fans Must Read before They Die. (Actually I just like writing TGABCFTABB.)

Fred Harris then… and now
