Rocky's Sports Library
These are some of my favorite sports books
that I have collected over the years
through purchases at book stores, thrift stores,
garage sales, and library sales. Now I am offering
them for sale in my eBay store for those hobbyists
who enjoy a good read from time to time.
The books include baseball, football,
basketball, boxing, hockey, golf, and even NASCAR.
They are works of fiction and non-fiction,
biographies and anthologies, catalogues and guides.
The books are not being sold as "collector's items"
since I do not know the first thing about
grading books and the like. The books
are being sold only as essential reads for
the sports fan. I can say that all of the books
are still in great condition and would look
nice on any library shelf.
